Following patch adds support for userspace tunneling. Tunneling
needs three more component first is routing table which is configured by
caching kernel routes and second is ARP cache which build automatically
by snooping arp. And third is tunnel protocol table which list all
listening protocols which is populated by vswitchd as tunnel ports
are added. GRE and VXLAN protocol support is added in this patch.
Tunneling works as follows:
On packet receive vswitchd check if this packet is targeted to tunnel
port. If it is then vswitchd inserts tunnel pop action which pops
header and sends packet to tunnel port.
On packet xmit rather than generating Set tunnel action it generate
tunnel push action which has tunnel header data. datapath can use
tunnel-push action data to generate header for each packet and
forward this packet to output port. Since tunnel-push action
contains most of packet header vswitchd needs to lookup routing
table and arp table to build this action.

Update the netdev_class so that struct ofpbuf * is passed to rx_recv()
to provide both the data and size of the data to read a packet into.
On success, update struct ofpbuf size inside netdev_class rx_recv

On error a positive error code is returned, whereas previously
a negative error code was returned. This is a more common convention.
This patch should not have any behavioural changes.

Until now, netdev_dummy_rx_wait() has only checked whether the receive
queue for the dummy device is currently empty. This has worked OK because
in practice packets were queued to dummy devices only from the same thread
that attempted to receive them. An upcoming commit will use different
threads for these purposes, so this commit switches to a notification
method that works cross-thread.

Previously, we tracked status changes for ofports on a per-device basis.
Each time in the main thread's loop, we would inspect every ofport
to determine whether the status had changed for corresponding devices.
This patch replaces the per-netdev change_seq with a global 'struct seq'
which tracks status change for all ports. In the average case where
ports are not constantly going up or down, this allows us to check the
sequence once per main loop and not poll any ports. In the worst case,
execution is expected to be similar to how it is currently.
In a test environment of 5000 internal ports and 50 tunnel ports with
bfd, this reduces average CPU usage of the main thread from about 40% to
about 35%.

We've seen a number of deadlocks in the tree since thread safety was
introduced. So far, all of these are self-deadlocks, that is, a single
thread acquiring a lock and then attempting to re-acquire the same lock
recursively. When this has happened, the process simply hung, and it was
somewhat difficult to find the cause.
POSIX "error-checking" mutexes check for this specific problem (and
others). This commit switches from other types of mutexes to
error-checking mutexes everywhere that we can, that is, everywhere that
we're not using recursive mutexes. This ought to help find problems more
quickly in the future.
There might be performance advantages to other kinds of mutexes in some
cases. However, the existing mutex type choices were just guesses, so I'd
rather go for easy detection of errors until we know that other mutex
types actually perform better in specific cases. Also, I did a quick
microbenchmark of glibc mutex types on my host and found that the
error checking mutexes weren't any slower than the other types, at least
when the mutex is uncontended.

Commit 86f1d0326bd0 (netdev-dummy: Use netdev_get_devices() instead of a
local shash.) caused netdev-dummy functions that iterate over all dummy
devices to iterate only over the ones that have class 'dummy_class'. This
seemed to obviously include all the ones that we want, but in fact
when ovs-vswitch is invoked with --enable-dummy=override, there are more
dummy classes than just dummy_class, which this new form of iteration
skipped over, with various negative consequences that showed up in some
testing.
