[ovs-dev] [PATCH] datapath: Fix exposing OVS_TUNNEL_KEY_ATTR_GTPU_OPTS to kernel module.

Kernel module doesn't know about GTPU and it should return correct
out-of-range error in case this tunnel attribute passed there for
any reason.  Current out-of-tree module will pass the range check
and will try to access ovs_tunnel_key_lens[] array by index
OVS_TUNNEL_KEY_ATTR_GTPU_OPTS.  Even though it might not produce
issues in current code, this is not a good thing to do since
ovs_tunnel_key_lens[] array is not explicitly initialized for
OVS_TUNNEL_KEY_ATTR_GTPU_OPTS and we will likely have misleading
error about incorrect attribute length in the end.

Fixes: 3c6d05a02e0f ("userspace: Add GTP-U support.")
