dpif-netlink: Probe for out-of-tree tunnels, decides used interface
On dpif init, probe for whether tunnels are created using in-tree
(upstream linux) or out-of-tree (OVS). This is done by probing for the
existence of "ovs_geneve" via rtnetlink. This is used to determine how
to create the tunnel devices.
For out-of-tree tunnels, only try genetlink/compat.
For in-tree kernel tunnels, try rtnetlink then fallback to genetlink.
