openvswitch: allow specifying ifindex of new interfaces
CRIU is preserving ifindexes of net devices after restoration. However, current Open vSwitch API does not allow to target ifindex, so we cannot correctly restore OVS configuration. Add new OVS_DP_ATTR_IFINDEX for OVS_DP_CMD_NEW and use it as desired ifindex. Use OVS_VPORT_ATTR_IFINDEX during OVS_VPORT_CMD_NEW to specify new netdev ifindex.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
