Could you please remove the first two paragraphs in the commit message?
I don't think they are relevant.

Also here, could you please describe what exactly is changed in port_flow_aged?
Current content explains the reason for the bug and the commit should describe how it's fixed.

Could you please refactor these lines as follows?

```
case ACTION_AGE_CONTEXT_TYPE_FLOW: {
uint64_t flow_id;

ctx.pf = container_of(type, struct port_flow, age_type);
flow_id = ctx.pf->id;
```

This is to make the style aligned - variables declared at the beginning of the block.
