Before we submitted the kernel module upstream, we updated the flow format
by adding two fields to the description of packets with VLAN headers, but
we forgot to update ODPUTIL_FLOW_KEY_BYTES to reflect these changes.  The
result was that a maximum-length flow did not fit in the given space.

This fixes a crash processing IPv6 neighbor discovery packets with VLAN
headers received in a tunnel configured with key=flow or in_key=flow.
