Previously, we used the kernel-internal netlink actions length to
calculate the size of messages to serialize back to userspace.
However,the sw_flow_actions may not be formatted exactly the same as the
actions on the wire, so store the original actions length when
de-serializing and re-use the original length when serializing.
