This patch backports the openvswitch changes and update the compat layer
for the following upstream patch.

    netlink: make nla_nest_start() add NLA_F_NESTED flag

    Even if the NLA_F_NESTED flag was introduced more than 11 years ago, most
    netlink based interfaces (including recently added ones) are still not
    setting it in kernel generated messages. Without the flag, message parsers
    not aware of attribute semantics (e.g. wireshark dissector or libmnl's
    mnl_nlmsg_fprintf()) cannot recognize nested attributes and won't display
    the structure of their contents.

    Unfortunately we cannot just add the flag everywhere as there may be
    userspace applications which check nlattr::nla_type directly rather than
    through a helper masking out the flags. Therefore the patch renames
    nla_nest_start() to nla_nest_start_noflag() and introduces nla_nest_start()
    as a wrapper adding NLA_F_NESTED. The calls which add NLA_F_NESTED manually
    are rewritten to use nla_nest_start().

    Except for changes in include/net/netlink.h, the patch was generated using
    this semantic patch:

    @@ expression E1, E2; @@
    -nla_nest_start(E1, E2)
