sal-compatibility does not get up-to-date flow information.
This is the root cause of VTN-40.

InventoryAndReadAdapter class of sal-compatibility implements readAllFlow method.
List<FlowOnNode> readAllFlow(final Node node, final boolean cached).

When the second parameter "cached" is false, this method must get flow information directly from the hardware node, and return it.

However, the implementation of this method does not check the second parameter "cached", and it always returns cached information even if the second parameter "cached" is false.
