Backport upstream Linux kernel patches for openvswitch up to and including
the Linux 4.12 kernel.

These upstream patches that are not yet in a released kernel will be
backported after the 4.13 kernel is released:
    3fcece1 net: store port/representator id in metadata_dst
    b080db5 networking: convert many more places to skb_put_zero()
    7529390 openvswitch: more accurate checksumming in queue_userspace_packet()

Greg Rose (8):
  acinclude.m4: Support Linux kernel 4.12
  datapath: introduce nf_conntrack_helper_put function
  datapath: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev
    state.
  datapath/linux/compat: Implement upstream net device free change
  datapath: get rid of redundant vxlan_dev.flags
  datapath: Avoid using stack larger than 1024
  datapath: fix mis-ordered comment lines for ovs_skb_cb
  travis: Update test kernels
