openvswitch: fix wrong flag value in get_ipv6_ext_hdrs()
The ESP and AH cases in get_ipv6_ext_hdrs() used IPPROTO_FRAGMENT instead
of OFPIEH12_FRAG when checking for out-of-order extension headers, causing
the fragment header to not be recognised as a valid predecessor.
The original code used IPPROTO_FRAGMENT (44) as a bitmask constant where
OFPIEH12_FRAG (1 << 4 = 16) was intended. IPPROTO_FRAGMENT encodes bits
2, 3 and 5 (OFPIEH12_AUTH | OFPIEH12_DEST | OFPIEH12_ROUTER), but not
bit 4 (OFPIEH12_FRAG). This caused incorrect OFPIEH12_UNSEQ verdicts in
both the ESP and AH arms: the ESP arm failed to whitelist OFPIEH12_FRAG,
while the AH arm accidentally whitelisted OFPIEH12_AUTH.
With the fix, a packet with two AH headers now also gets OFPIEH12_UNSEQ
in addition to OFPIEH12_UNREP, matching the ESP arm which already sets
UNSEQ on a repeat, which is the intended behavior.
