Hrm.  This looks like a workaround rather than a fix.  If the inner packet
doesn't have L3 header, dp-packet must not have a flag for L3 checksumming
set in the first place.  And if it does have inner L3, the offset must be
initialized.  I guess, some of the offsets can be not initialized, because
the packet is never parsed by either miniflow_extract() or parse_tcp_flags().
And the bfd_put_packet() doesn't seem to set them.

BTW, is there actually a double encapsulation in the original OVN test?
Sounds strange.
