openvswitch: do not propagate headroom updates to internal port
After commit 3a927bc7cf9d ("ovs: propagate per dp max headroom to all vports") the need_headroom for the internal vport is updated accordingly to the max needed headroom in its datapath. That avoids the pskb_expand_head() costs when sending/forwarding packets towards tunnel devices, at least for some scenarios. We still require such copy when using the ovs-preferred configuration for vxlan tunnels: br_int / \ tap vxlan (remote_ip:X) br_phy \ NIC where the route towards the IP 'X' is via 'br_phy'. When forwarding traffic from the tap towards the vxlan device, we will call pskb_expand_head() in vxlan_build_skb() because br-phy->needed_headroom is equal to tun->needed_headroom. With this change we avoid updating the internal vport needed_headroom, so that in the above scenario no head copy is needed, giving 5% performance improvement in UDP throughput test. As a trade-off, packets sent from the internal port towards a tunnel device will now experience the head copy overhead. The rationale is that the latter use-case is less relevant performance-wise.
