[ovs-dev] [PATCH] dpif-netlink: Allow offloading of flows with dl_type 0x1234.

[Ilya Maximets]

'dpif_probe_feature()' always has DPIF_FP_PROBE flag set. Other probing
code uses dpif_execute() with DPIF_OP_EXECUTE, hence never calls
parse_flow_put().
Thus, this 'if' statement is wrong and should be removed as it only
forbids offloading of the real legitimate flows with dl_type 0x1234.
Dummy flows never reach this code.
