In ovs compat mode, ovs won't use LWT in current kernel, this is to
make sure ovs can work on the old kernels, Linux kernel v4.7 includes
VxLAN-gpe support but many Linux distributions' kernels are odler than
v4.7, this fix will ensure that ovs can create VxLAN-gpe port correctly
on old kernels, it has been verified on Ubuntu 16.04 x86_64 with Linux
kernel 4.4.0-53-generic.
This does touch compat code, but it is necessary as Pravin commented.
Without this fix, ovs can't create VxLAN-gpe port, it is still a VxLAN
port.
vxlan_sys_4790 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 72:23:60:c2:8b:8d
inet6 addr: fe80::7023:60ff:fec2:8b8d/64 Scope:Link

But with this fix applied, a real L3 port is created
