Add wildcarded flow support in kernel datapath.
Wildcarded flow can improve OVS flow set up performance by avoid sending
matching new flows to the user space program. The exact performance boost
will largely dependent on wildcarded flow hit rate.
In case all new flows hits wildcard flows, the flow set up rate is
within 5% of that of linux bridge module.
Pravin has made significant contributions to this patch. Including API
clean ups and bug fixes.

It doesn't make sense to output a tunnel packet using the same
parameters that it was received with since that will generally
just result in the packet going back to us. As a result, userspace
assumes that the tunnel key is cleared when transitioning through
the switch. In the majority of cases this doesn't matter since a
packet is either going to a tunnel port (in which the key is
overwritten with new values) or to a non-tunnel port (in which
case the key is ignored). However, it's theoreticaly possible that
userspace could rely on the documented behavior, so this corrects
it.

Add a protocol argument to the VLAN packet tagging functions. In case of HW
tagging, we need that protocol available in the ndo_start_xmit functions,
so it is stored in a new field in the skb. The new field fits into a hole
(on 64 bit) and doesn't increase the sks's size.

In vlan_insert_tag(), we insert a 4-byte VLAN header _after_
mac header:
memmove(skb->data, skb->data + VLAN_HLEN, 2 * ETH_ALEN);
...
veth->h_vlan_proto = htons(ETH_P_8021Q);
...
veth->h_vlan_TCI = htons(vlan_tci);
so after it, we should recompute the checksum to include these 4 bytes.
skb->data still points to the mac header, therefore VLAN header is at
(2 * ETH_ALEN = 12) bytes after it, not (ETH_HLEN = 14) bytes.
This can also be observed via tcpdump:
0x0000: ffff ffff ffff 5254 005d 6f6e 8100 000a
0x0010: 0806 0001 0800 0604 0001 5254 005d 6f6e
0x0020: c0a8 026e 0000 0000 0000 c0a8 0282
Similar for __pop_vlan_tci(), the vlan header we remove is the one
overwritten in:
memmove(skb->data + VLAN_HLEN, skb->data, 2 * ETH_ALEN);
Therefore the VLAN_HLEN = 4 bytes after 2 * ETH_ALEN is the part
we want to sub from checksum.

Rather easy conflict resolution, the 'net' tree had bug fixes to make
sure we checked if a socket is a time-wait one or not and elide the
logging code if so.
Whereas on the 'net-next' side we are calculating the UID and GID from
the creds using different interfaces due to the user namespace changes
from Eric Biederman.

It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier. Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.
I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.
I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

This reverts commit 5b3e7e6cb5.
The problem that the original commit was attempting to fix can
never happen in practice because validation is done one a per-flow
basis rather than a per-packet basis. Adding additional checks at
runtime is unnecessary and inconsistent with the rest of the code.

If there is no OVS_SAMPLE_ATTR_ACTIONS set then "acts_list" is NULL and
it leads to a NULL dereference when we call nla_len(acts_list). This
is a static checker fix, not something I have seen in testing.

When modifying IP addresses or ports on a UDP packet we don't
correctly follow the rules for unchecksummed packets. This meant
that packets without a checksum can be given a incorrect new checksum
and packets with a checksum can become marked as being unchecksummed.
This fixes it to handle those requirements.

Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features
expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network.
This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need
to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.
The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
translate it into packet processing rules.
See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
utilities.
