[PATCH iproute2-next] flower: add orig_ethtype key

The following flower filter fails to match packets:

tc filter add dev eth0 ingress protocol 0x8864 flower \
        action simple sdata hi64

The following is explanation of the issue on the kernel side.

The protocol 0x8864 (ETH_P_PPP_SES) is a tunnel protocol. As such, it is
being dissected by __skb_flow_dissect and it's internal protocol is
being set as key->basic.n_proto. IOW, the existence of ETH_P_PPP_SES
tunnel is transparent to the callers of __skb_flow_dissect.

OTOH, in the filters above, cls_flower configures its key->basic.n_proto
to the ETH_P_PPP_SES value configured by the user. Matching on this key
fails because of __skb_flow_dissect "transparency" mentioned above.

Therefore there is no way currently to match on such packets using
flower.

To fix the issue add new orig_ethtype key to the flower along with the
necessary changes to the flow dissector etc.

To filter the ETH_P_PPP_SES packets the command becomes:

tc filter add dev eth0 ingress flower orig_ethtype 0x8864 \
        action simple sdata hi64

Corresponding kernel patch was sent separately.
