I am also surprised.

It should only be possible to trigger the "instructions out of order"
message if one uses one of the Nicira extensions to OF1.0.  With OF1.1+,
OVS parses the instructions and then orders them properly when it
transforms them into ofpacts, which means that OF1.1+ cannot trigger the
message if ofpacts_verify() is correct.  (Obviously it wasn't, but this
commit fixes it.)
