Currently, the openvswitch module is not accepting the correctly formated
netlink message for the TTL decrement action. For both setting and getting
the dec_ttl action, the actions should be nested in the
OVS_DEC_TTL_ATTR_ACTION attribute as mentioned in the openvswitch.h uapi.
When the original patch was sent, it was tested with a private OVS userspace
implementation. This implementation was unfortunately not upstreamed and
reviewed, hence an erroneous version of this patch was sent out.
Leaving the patch as-is would cause problems as the kernel module could
interpret additional attributes as actions and vice-versa, due to the
actions not being encapsulated/nested within the actual attribute, but
being concatinated after it.
