Flash Exceptions not working in Managed Environment

Reported by mayer...@gmail.com, Oct 26 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.62 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Setup a managed environment.
2. Set DefaultPluginsSetting to anything
3. Login as a managed user
4. Manually add a Flash Exception
5. Flash exception is ignored.

What is the expected behavior?
Flash exception should be honored.

What went wrong?
The Flash exceptions list under chrome://settings/content/flash is no longer honored when DefaultPluginsSetting is set.  If you configure PluginsAllowedForUrls, then the browser will honor the managed settings.

Did this work before? Yes 61

Chrome version: 62.0.3202.62  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: 27.0.0.183

Tested this issue on Windows with chrome #61.0.3163.100, #62.0.3202.62

Observation-1: 
When default flash setting is enabled with allow all sites to run flash plugin, 

For M61 - Observed the manually added exception is playing
For M62 - Observed the added exception is asking for to run for the first time.

Observation-2:
When default flash setting is enabled with Block the flash plugin, 

For M61 - Observed the manually added exception is not playing.
For M62 - Observed the manually added exception is not playing.

Attaching the screen-cast for reference

mayers.j@ Could you please look into it and let us know that M61 behavior is the expected behavior for this issue.

I experienced this behavior as well.  So it would seem there's something wrong within the 62 code because the first scenario should yield the same results.
