openvswitch: meter: fix race when getting now_ms.

We have observed meters working unexpected if traffic is 3+Gbit/s
with multiple connections.

now_ms is not pretected by meter->lock, we may get a negative
long_delta_ms when another cpu updated meter->used, then:
    delta_ms = (u32)long_delta_ms;
which will be a large value.

    band->bucket += delta_ms * band->rate;
then we get a wrong band->bucket.

OpenVswitch userspace datapath has fixed the same issue[1] some
time ago, and we port the implementation to kernel datapath.
