The packet above is
dnl outer IP: Source: 172.16.180.105 Destination: 172.16.180.106
dnl inner IP: Source: 172.16.180.105 Destination: 172.16.180.106

And why does this trigger ovs to process it ex: bfd_should_process_flow() return true?
In your patch, you're adding extra check
bfd->ip_src == flow->nw_dst
and here
bfd->ip_src is default 169.254.1.1
flow->nw_dst is 172.16.180.106

The packet above is
dnl outer IP: Source: 172.16.180.105 Destination: 172.16.180.106
dnl inner IP: Source: 192.168.10.104 Destination: 192.168.10.105
So the bfd_should_process_flow returns false.
