Re: [PATCH net] openvswitch: Don't swap table in nlattr_set() after OVS_ATTR_NESTED is found

If an OVS_ATTR_NESTED attribute type is found while walking
through netlink attributes, we call nlattr_set() recursively
passing the length table for the following nested attributes, if
different from the current one.

However, once we're done with those sub-nested attributes, we
should continue walking through attributes using the current
table, instead of using the one related to the sub-nested
attributes.

For example, given this sequence:

1  OVS_KEY_ATTR_PRIORITY
2  OVS_KEY_ATTR_TUNNEL
3	OVS_TUNNEL_KEY_ATTR_ID
4	OVS_TUNNEL_KEY_ATTR_IPV4_SRC
5	OVS_TUNNEL_KEY_ATTR_IPV4_DST
6	OVS_TUNNEL_KEY_ATTR_TTL
7	OVS_TUNNEL_KEY_ATTR_TP_SRC
8	OVS_TUNNEL_KEY_ATTR_TP_DST
9  OVS_KEY_ATTR_IN_PORT
10 OVS_KEY_ATTR_SKB_MARK
11 OVS_KEY_ATTR_MPLS

we switch to the 'ovs_tunnel_key_lens' table on attribute #3,
and we don't switch back to 'ovs_key_lens' while setting
attributes #9 to #11 in the sequence. As OVS_KEY_ATTR_MPLS
evaluates to 21, and the array size of 'ovs_tunnel_key_lens' is
15, we also get this kind of KASan splat while accessing the
wrong table:

Looks good, applied and queued up for -stable.
