A recent commit[1] to pass the list of port names directly to
ovs-vsctl during a list operation introduced a new possible
failure condition where one of the names might refer to a port
which no longer exists. By default this causes ovs-vsctl to quit
in a fit of rage[2].
Previously, all interfaces were retrieved and the ones that were a
subset of the name list were processed. The name list could contain
extra non-existent names (e.g. recently deleted interfaces).
This patch just passes the '--if-exists' flag to the 'list Interface'
command to match the same previous behavior.
