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.
