[PATCH net-next v10 2/5] openvswitch: set skb protocol and mac_len when receiving on internal device

[Simon Horman <simon.horman@netronome.com>]

* Set skb protocol based on contents of packet. I have observed this is
  necessary to get actual protocol of a packet when it is injected into an
  internal device e.g. by libnet in which case skb protocol will be set to
  ETH_ALL.

* Set the mac_len which has been observed to not be set up correctly when
  an ARP packet is generated and sent via an openvswitch bridge.
  My test case is a scenario where there are two open vswtich bridges.
  One outputs to a tunnel port which egresses on the other.

The motivation for this is that support for outputting to layer 3 (non-tap)
GRE tunnels as implemented by a subsequent patch depends on protocol and
mac_len being set correctly on receive.
