Subject: [PATCH net 1/5] openvswitch: Pad OVS_PACKET_ATTR_PACKET if linear copy was performed

From: Thomas Graf <tgraf@...g.ch>

While the zerocopy method is correctly omitted if user space
does not support unaligned Netlink messages. The attribute is
still not padded correctly as skb_zerocopy() will not ensure
padding and the attribute size is no longer pre calculated
though nla_reserve() which ensured padding previously.

This patch applies appropriate padding if a linear data copy
was performed in skb_zerocopy().
