I think there is a missing userspace fix. didnt verify yet.
but in ovs userspace odp-netlink.h created from 
datapath/linux/compat/include/linux/openvswitch.h
and that file is not synced the change here.
So the new enum OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV6_EXTHDRS is missing and also struct
ovs_key_ipv6_exthdrs which is needed in lib/udp-util.c
in struct ovs_flow_key_attr_lens to add expected len for
OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV6_EXTHDR.
