Since SECURITY+PASSTHRU won't be terminal, this code segment might be
misleading.

Is flow mandatory for the egress traffic? My understanding is, it's not.
"set_pkt_metadata" API gives application the ability to do the lookup
and pass the info along with the packet. In such cases, flow creation is
not necessary.
I do agree that this is outside the scope of this patch, but I was just
curious about the behavior since you touched the topic.
