Subject[PATCH 2/2] tuntap: limit the number of flow caches
Date
We create new flow caches when a new flow is identified by tuntap, This may lead
some issues:

- userspace may produce a huge amount of short live flows to exhaust host memory
- the unlimited number of flow caches may produce a long list which increase the
time in the linear searching

Solve this by introducing a limit of total number of flow caches.
