[PATCH v2 02/11] flow: Add flow_sidx_valid() helper

[David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>]

To implement the TCP hash table, we need an invalid (NULL-like) value for
flow_sidx_t.  We use FLOW_SIDX_NONE for that, but for defensiveness, we
treat (usually) anything with an out of bounds flow index the same way.

That's not always done consistently though.  In flow_at_sidx() we open code
a check on the flow index.  In tcp_hash_probe() we instead compare against
FLOW_SIDX_NONE, and in some other places we use the fact that
flow_at_sidx() will return NULL in this case, even if we don't otherwise
need the flow it returns.

Clean this up a bit, by adding an explicit flow_sidx_valid() test function.
