datapath: don't call pad_packet if not necessary
Upstream commit: commit 61ca533c0e94104c35fcb7858a23ec9a05d78143 Author: Tonghao Zhang <xiangxia.m.yue@gmail.com> Date: Thu Nov 14 23:51:08 2019 +0800 net: openvswitch: don't call pad_packet if not necessary The nla_put_u16/nla_put_u32 makes sure that *attrlen is align. The call tree is that: nla_put_u16/nla_put_u32 -> nla_put attrlen = sizeof(u16) or sizeof(u32) -> __nla_put attrlen -> __nla_reserve attrlen -> skb_put(skb, nla_total_size(attrlen)) nla_total_size returns the total length of attribute including padding.
