> Currently, for a flow containing an age action, if flow is split to
> sub-flows, a new age action will be created for each sub-flow.
> However only the action created for the last sub-flow will be queried
> on flow query and cleared on flow removal.
> 
> This behavior is wrong, causing a leak of resources.
> Need to create just one action per flow, and use it for all sub-flows.
> 
> This patch adds the required check to make sure an age action is
> created just once per flow, and used by all sub-flows.
