To avoid a bug when deleting flows in the future, add
BUG_ON in flush flows function.

BUG_ON() is too severe, I think WARN_ON() or similar are sufficient
because the kernel can try to continue operating if this condition is
detected.

And you can force the values to zero in such a situation.

Thanks, David
