When a packet is sent to the controller, dl_type is not stored in the
'ofputil_packet_in_private'. When the packet is resumed, the flow's
dl_type is 0 and this leads to invalid value in ct_orig_tuple in the
pkt_metadata.

This patch adds the dl_type to the metadata so that conntrack
information can be interpreted correctly when packets are resumed.
