datapath: Fixups for MPLS GSO
This patch backports the following two upstream commits to fix MPLS GSO in
ovs datapath. Starting from upstream commit
48d2ab609b6b ("net: mpls: Fixups
for GSO"), the mpls_gso kernel module relies on the fact that
skb_network_header() points to the mpls header and skb_inner_network_header()
points to the L3 header so that it can derive the length of mpls header
correctly, and the upstream commit updates how ovs datapath marks the skb
header when push and pop mpls. However, the old mpls_gso kernel module
assumes that the skb_network_header() points to the L3 header, and the old
mpls_gso kernel module will misbehave if the ovs datapath marks the
skb_network_header() in the new way since it will treat mpls header as the L3
header.
Because of the functional signature of mpls_gso_segment() does not change,
this backport patch uses the new mpls_hdr() to determine if the kernel that
ovs datapath is compiled with has the new or legacy mpls_gso kernel module.
It has been tested on kernel 4.4 and 4.9.

net: mpls: Fixups for GSO
As reported by Lennert the MPLS GSO code is failing to properly segment
large packets. There are a couple of problems:
1. the inner protocol is not set so the gso segment functions for inner
protocol layers are not getting run, and
2 MPLS labels for packets that use the "native" (non-OVS) MPLS code
are not properly accounted for in mpls_gso_segment.
The MPLS GSO code was added for OVS. It is re-using skb_mac_gso_segment
to call the gso segment functions for the higher layer protocols. That
means skb_mac_gso_segment is called twice -- once with the network
protocol set to MPLS and again with the network protocol set to the
inner protocol.
This patch sets the inner skb protocol addressing item 1 above and sets
the network_header and inner_network_header to mark where the MPLS labels
start and end. The MPLS code in OVS is also updated to set the two
network markers.
>From there the MPLS GSO code uses the difference between the network
header and the inner network header to know the size of the MPLS header
that was pushed. It then pulls the MPLS header, resets the mac_len and
protocol for the inner protocol and then calls skb_mac_gso_segment
to segment the skb.
Afterward the inner protocol segmentation is done the skb protocol
is set to mpls for each segment and the network and mac headers
restored.

openvswitch: use mpls_hdr
skb_mpls_header is equivalent to mpls_hdr now. Use the existing helper
instead.
