Govindarajulu Varadarajan e0f31d8498 flow_keys: Record IP layer protocol in skb_flow_dissect()
skb_flow_dissect() dissects only transport header type in ip_proto. It dose not
give any information about IPv4 or IPv6.

This patch adds new member, n_proto, to struct flow_keys. Which records the
IP layer type. i.e IPv4 or IPv6.

This can be used in netdev->ndo_rx_flow_steer driver function to dissect flow.

Adding new member to flow_keys increases the struct size by around 4 bytes.
This causes BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(qcb->data) < sz); to fail in
qdisc_cb_private_validate()

So increase data size by 4
