Subject: [PATCH] ovs: Only clear tstamp when changing namespaces

As of "ovs: clear skb->tstamp in forwarding path", the
tstamp is now being cleared unconditionally to fix fq qdisc
operation with ovs vports.

While this is mostly correct and fixes forwarding for that
use case, a slight adjustment is necessary to ensure that
the tstamp is cleared *only when the forwarding is across
namespaces*.
