Good catch!
I think that we don't really need to reload oasf at all, because we
can just initialize oasf->len earlier and then not refer back to oasf
again after the ofpbuf_put(). That seems a little nicer. So how
about this:

Subject: [PATCH] nx-match: Correct writing of value and length in set_field_to_ofast()
ofpbuf_put_* may reallocate the underlying buffer of the ofpbuf and
thus writing data after a ofpbuf_put_* call must write to memory
relative to the pointer returned by the call.
Prior to this change the length and trailing value would not be written to
the set_field action if ofpbuf_put_* may reallocated the underlying buffer.
Also make use of ofpbuf_put_zero() to avoid calling memset() directly.
