openvswitch: Fix mask generation for nested attributes.
Masks were added to OVS flows in a way that was backwards compatible with userspace programs that did not generate masks. As a result, it is possible that we may receive flows that do not have a mask and we need to synthesize one. Generating a mask requires iterating over attributes and descending into nested attributes. For each level we need to know the size to generate the correct mask. We do this with a linked table of attribute types. Although the logic to handle these nested attributes was there in concept, there are a number of bugs in practice. Examples include incomplete links between tables, variable length attributes being treated as nested and missing sanity checks.
