Subject: [PATCH net-next 02/12] openvswitch: avoid warnings in vport_from_priv

From: Daniele Di Proietto <daniele.di.proietto@...il.com>

This change, firstly, avoids declaring the formal parameter const,
since it is treated as non const. (to avoid -Wcast-qual)
Secondly, it cast the pointer from void* to u8*, since it is used
in arithmetic (to avoid -Wpointer-arith)
