Ok, I'll move it to include/uapi/linux/if_ether.h, but in userspace, we
still need to keep it in nsh.h.

For MD type 2, we'll reuse tun_metedata keys in struct flow_tnl which
will be reworked and it will be shared by NSH and GENEVE, so we won't
have new keys in "struct ovs_key_nsh" for MD type 2.

Got it, will use nla_total_size(NSH_M_TYPE2_MAX_LEN - NSH_BASE_HDR_LEN)

Good point, will add check code for this.
