Subject: [RFC PATCH net] vxlan: fix incorrect RCO bit in VXLAN header

Commit 3511494ce2f3d ("vxlan: Group Policy extension") changed definition of
VXLAN_HF_RCO from 0x00200000 to BIT(24). This is obviously incorrect. It's
also in violation with the RFC draft.

This code is, unfortunately, in the tree since 4.0. Not sure whether we can
change it now. On the other hand, we're in violation with the RFC draft and
collide with VXLAN-GPE flags assignment which defines this bit as OAM flag.

Opinions welcome, especially by Tom and Thomas.
