ovs-vswitchd doesn't use OVS_VPORT_TYPE_GRE/VXLAN/GENEVE with the
Linux kernel module since adding support for standard tunnel devices
with COLLECT_METADATA back in 2017.  The code to use them was only
activated as a fallback for old kernels, so not used in practice.  And
it is now fully removed in the upcoming OVS 4.0 release.

Modern way to use tunnels with OVS is to create standard tunnel ports
with RTM_NEWLINK + COLLECT_METADATA and add them as OVS_VPORT_TYPE_NETDEV.
