[ovs-dev] [PATCH] netdev-linux: Fix build break on RHEL 6.1.

Commit 73c85181d (netdev-linux: Read packet auxdata to obtain vlan_tid)
added #include <linux/if_packet.h> to this file, to get the definition
of PACKET_AUXDATA and some other definitions, but on RHEL 6.1 this
provoked compiler errors:

In file included from /usr/include/linux/rtnetlink.h:5,
    from lib/netdev-linux.c:34:
/usr/include/linux/netlink.h:34: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list
    before 'sa_family_t'

Since the old #includes worked everywhere, and this file already defined
its own versions of most of the new macros that it needed, this commit just
reverts the old #includes and adds the one macro definition it didn't
already have.

(RHEL 6.1 isn't necessarily the only platform where this is a problem, but
it's the first one for which we noticed the problem.)

This switches the definition of sockaddr_ll used from the Linux one, which
uses __be16 for sll_protocol, to the glibc one, which uses plain "unsigned
short int".  This makes sparse complain (rightly), so this commit also
adds a sparse-specific header that uses ovs_be16 to prevent the warning.
