[ovs-dev] [PATCH v2] odp-util: Remove unnecessary TOS ECN bits rewrite for tunnels

For tunnels, TOS ECN bits are never wildcard for the reason that they
are always inherited. OVS will create a rewrite action if we add rule
to modify other IP headers. But it also adds an extra ECN rewrite for
the action because of this ECN un-wildcarding.

It seems no error because the ECN bits to be changed are same in this
case. But as rule can't be offloaded to hardware, the unnecssary ECN
rewrite should be removed.
