[Cake] Cake parameter anomaly?

[Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant]

I can't find anything that uses "TCA_CAKE_ACTIVE_FLOWS" in the current
codebase of ether cake or tc-adv, so if we're in the current business of
breaking API/ABI stuff then shouldn't it go?

The output of 'sparse & bulk' flows is still there in the output stats
shown by tc, so is obviously in use.
