ovs-rcu: Remove the extra 'typedef' keyword.

'struct ovsrcu_pointer' is always used with the 'struct' keyword, so
remove the unneeded 'typedef'.

lib/ovs-rcu: Evaluate parameters before ovsrcu_set and ovsrcu_init.

ovsrcu_set() and ovsrcu_init() look like functions, so users are
justified in expecting the arguments to be evaluated before any of
the body of ovsrcu_set or ovsrcu_init().

With ovs-atomic-pthreads, a fallback ovs-atomics implementation used
when no C11 atomics are available or with GCC older than 4.0, the
prior definitions led to nested mutex locking when the 'VALUE'
argument was an atomic_read().  This is resolved by ensuring function
argument semantics for the parameters.  For non-GCC compilers this is
done with an inline function.  GCC implementation of ovs-rcu does not
fix the RCU variable type, so a GCC macro needs to be used instead.

lib/ovs-rcu: Rename ovsrcu_init() as ovsrcu_set_hidden().

ovsrcu_init() was named after the atomic_init(), but the semantics are
different enough to warrant a different name.  Basically C11
atomic_init is defined in a way that allows the implementation to
assign the value without any syncronization, so in theory stores via
atomic_init could be seen by others after stores via atomic_set, even
if the atomic_init appeared earlier in the code.

ovsrcu_set_hidden() can be used to set an RCU protected variable when
it is not yet accessible by any active reader, but will be made
visible later via an ovsrcu_set call on some other pointer.

This patch also adds a new ovsrcu_init() that can be used to initilize
RCU protected variables when the readers are not yet executing.  The
new ovsrcu_init() is implemented with atomic_init(), so it does not
provide any kind of syncronization.

ofproto-dpif-xlate: Cache full flowmod for learning.

Caching the results of xlate_learn was previously dependent on the state
of the 'may_learn' flag. This meant that if the caller did not specify
that this flow may learn, then a learn entry would not be cached.
However, the xlate_cache tends to be used on a recurring basis, so
failing to cache the learn entry can provide unexpected behaviour later
on, particularly in corner cases.

Such a corner case occurred previously:-
* Revalidation was requested.
* A flow with a learn action was dumped.
* The flow had no packets.
* The flow's corresponding xcache was cleared, and the flow revalidated.
* The flow went on to receive packets after the xcache is re-created.

In this case, the xcache would be re-created, but would not refresh the
timeouts on the learnt flow until the next time it was cleared, even if
it received more traffic. This would cause flows to time out sooner than
expected. Symptoms of this bug may include unexpected forwarding
behaviour or extraneous statistics being attributed to the wrong flow.

This patch fixes the issue by caching the entire flow_mod, including
actions, upon translating an xlate_learn action. This is used to perform
a flow_mod from scratch with the original flow, rather than simply
refreshing the rule that was created during the creation of the xcache.

Bug #1252997.

userspace: add layer 3 flow and switching support

This commit relaxes the assumption that all packets have an Ethernet
header, and adds support for layer 3 flows.  For each packet received on
the Linux kernel datapath the l2 and l3 members of struct ofpbuf are
intialized appropriately, and some functions now expect this (notably
flow_extract()), in order to differentiate between layer 2 and layer 3
packets.  struct flow has now a new 'base_layer' member, because we
cannot assume that a flow has no Ethernet header when eth_src and
eth_dst are 0.  For layer 3 packets, the protocol type is still stored
in the eth_type member.

Switching L2->L3 and L3->L2 are both implemented by adding the pop_eth
and push_eth actions respectively when a transition is detected.  The
push_eth action puts 0s on both source and destination MACs.  These
addresses can be modified with mod_dl_dst and mod_dl_src actions.

Added new prerequisite MFP_ETHERNET for fields MFF_ETH_SRC, MFF_ETH_DST,
MFF_VLAN_TCI, MFF_DL_VLAN, MFF_VLAN_VID and MFF_DL_VLAN_PCP.
