[ovs-dev] [PATCH 09/10] tc: Move tunnel_key unset action before output ports

From: Paul Blakey <paulb at mellanox.com>

Since OvS datapath gets packets already decapsulated from tunnel devices,
it doesn't explicitly decapsulate them. So in a recirculation setup,
the tunnel matching continues in the recirculation as the tunnel
metadata still exists on the SKB.

Tunnel key unset action unsets this metadata. Some drivers might rely
on this explicit tunnel key unset to know when to decapsulate the packet
instead of the device type. So instead of removing it completly,
we move it near the output actions.

This way, we also keep SKB metadata through recirculation, and for
non-recirculation rules, the resulting tc rules should remain the same.
