Instead of doing all in one go, make two separate decisions: 1) If table has no chain cache, either continue or return depending on whether we're flushing for a specific table. 2) With chain cache present, flushing strategy once more depends on whether we're flushing for a specific table: If given, just remove all rules and return. If not, free the cache and set to NULL (so that it will be repopulated later), then continue the loop.
