datapath: Consider tunnels to have no MTU, fixing jumbo frame support.
Until now, tunnel vports have had a specific MTU, in the same way that
ordinary network devices have an MTU, but treating them this way does not
always make sense. For example, consider a datapath that has three ports:
the local port, a GRE tunnel to another host, and a physical port. If
the physical port is configured with a jumbo MTU, it should be possible to
send jumbo packets across the tunnel: the tunnel can do fragmentation or
the physical port traversed by the tunnel might have a jumbo MTU.
However, until now, tunnels always had a 1500-byte MTU by default. It
could be adjusted using ODP_VPORT_MTU_SET, but nothing actually did this.
One alternative would be to make ovs-vswitchd able to set the vport's MTU.
This commit, however, takes a different approach, of dropping the concept
of MTU entirely for tunnel vports. This also solves the problem described
above, without making any additional work for anyone.
I tested that, without this change, I could not send 1600-byte "pings"
between two machines whose NICs had 2000-byte MTUs that were connected to
vswitches that were in turn connected over GRE tunnels with the default
1500-byte MTU. With this change, it worked OK, regardless of the MTU of
the network traversed by the GRE tunnel.
This patch also makes "patch" ports MTU-less.
It might make sense to remove vport_set_mtu() and the associated callback
now, since ordinary network devices are the only vports that support it
now.

datapath: Fix behavior of NLA_NESTED for pre-2.6.29 kernels.
Before v2.6.29, a NLA_NESTED attribute, if it was present, was not allowed
to be empty. However, OVS depends on the ability to accept empty
attributes. For example, a present but empty ODP_FLOW_ATTR_ACTIONS on
ODP_FLOW_CMD_SET replaces the existing set of actions by an empty "drop"
action, whereas a missing ODP_FLOW_ATTR_ACTIONS leaves the existing
actions, if any, unchanged.
NLA_NESTED is different from NLA_UNSPEC in only two ways:
* If the size of the nested attributes is zero, no further size checks
are performed.
* If the size of the nested attributes is not zero and no length
parameter is specified the minimum size of nested attributes is
NLA_HDRLEN.
nla_parse_nested() validates that there is at least enough space for
NLA_HDRLEN, so neither of these conditions are important, and we might
as well use NLA_UNSPEC with old kernels.

dpif-linux: Always pass an actions attribute in dpif_flow_put().
The kernel expects that ODP_FLOW_NEW always has an ODP_FLOW_ATTR_ACTIONS
attribute, even though that attribute may be empty to drop all of the
packets in the flow. Similarly, ODP_FLOW_SET as used by
dpif_linux_flow_put() should always have such an attribute, since it is
used by OVS to update the flow's actions. So make it possible for
dpif_linux_flow_to_ofpbuf() to pass an empty actions attribute, and make
dpif_linux_flow_put() always force that behavior if the actions_len passed
to it is 0.
This fixes EINVAL error creating flows to drop packets.

lib: route-table improvements.
This commit makes several changes to the route_table code used to
populate tunnel_egress_iface.
- It removes name_table code from netdev-vport and puts it into
route-table.
- It no longer attempts to build the name_table dynamically by
listening to rtnetlink-link notifications. Instead it dumps the
entire table, and uses rtnetlink-link notifications to indicate a
re-dump is required.
- It forces rtnetlink-link notifications to re-dump the routing
table. This fixes an issue where bringing an interface down or
removing it altogether would not have the expected effect on
related tunnel_egress_ifaces.

datapath: Fix flow time used computation.
The current reporting of flow last used time has two issues that
cause it to incorrectly report the system monotonic time when the
flow was last used.
The first is that it simply converts the stored jiffies value to
milliseconds by scaling with a constant. This does not work because
jiffies is not zero based and can wrap around on 32-bit platforms.
The second is there is no guarantee that jiffies advances at the
same rate as the RTC based monotonic time that userspace uses.
A variety of factors can cause differences, including system suspend
and clock drift. These are not too important for relatively short
time periods such as the duration of the flow (nor is the flow timing
precision of extreme importance). However, when the time being
measured is the duration since system boot (assuming that the above
issues had been addressed) the difference can become significant.
This addresses both issues by restoring behavior similar to the
previous method of computing the flow used time, though in a
slightly different form to reflect the needs of the Netlink code.
