In HWS template API, the aging mechanism doesn't support shared host mode now. When the guest's counter is set to 0, the aging won't be initialized.
The current implementation didn't prevent the user from querying the aged flows on the uninitialized port. The access of invalid pointers would cause a crash. With this commit, the flag of the per port aging initialization will be checked. This would help to get rid of the invalid accessing.
