ofproto-dpif-upcall: Translate input port as part of upcall translation.
When we generate wildcards for upcalled flows, the flows and therefore the wildcards, are in OpenFlow format. These are mostly the same but one exception is the input port. We work around this problem by simply performing an exact match on the input port when generating netlink formatted keys. (This does not lose any information in practice because action translation also always exact matches on input port.) While this works fine for kernel based flows, it misses the userspace datapath, which directly consumes the OFP format mask for the input port. The effect of this is that the in_port mask is sometimes only the lower 16 bits of the field. (This is because OFP format is a 16-bit value stored in a 32-bit field. The full width of the field is initialized with an exact match mask but certain operations result in cleaving this down to 16 bits.) In practice this does not cause a problem because datapath port numbers are almost always in the lower 16 bits of the range anyways. This moves the masking of the datapath format field to translation so that all datapaths see the same result. This also makes more sense conceptually as the input port in the flow is also in ODP format at this stage.
