flow, tcp: Add flow-centric dispatch for deferred flow handling

tcp_defer_handler(), amongst other things, scans the flow table and does
some processing for each TCP connection.  When we add other protocols to
the flow table, they're likely to want some similar scanning.  It makes
more sense for cache friendliness to perform a single scan of the flow
table and dispatch to the protocol specific handlers, rather than having
each protocol separately scan the table.

To that end, add a new flow_defer_handler() handling all flow-linked
deferred operations.
