[PATCH net-next] openvswitch: fix VxLAN-gpe port can't be created in ovs compat mode

[Yi Yang]

In ovs compat mode, ovs won't use LWT in current kernel, this is to
make sure ovs can work on the old kernels, Linux kernel v4.7 includes
VxLAN-gpe support but many Linux distributions' kernels are odler than
v4.7, this fix will ensure that ovs can create VxLAN-gpe port correctly
on old kernels, it has been verified on Ubuntu 16.04 x86_64 with Linux
kernel 4.4.0-53-generic.

This does touch compat code, but it is necessary as Pravin commented.

Without this fix, ovs can't create VxLAN-gpe port, it is still a VxLAN
port.

vxlan_sys_4790 Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 72:23:60:c2:8b:8d
          inet6 addr: fe80::7023:60ff:fec2:8b8d/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:65485  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:8 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

But with this fix applied, a real L3 port is created

vxlan_sys_4790 Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr
00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:65485  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
