From: Daniel Ding <danieldin...@gmail.com>

In order to collect meters since the last meter action
to the current action in the dpif_execute_helper_cb,
the next entry is simply obtained using nl_attr_next, and
without considering the nested nl. This will cause memory
access to be overflowed.

Gdb debug looks like this:

  (gdb) print a
  $6 = (const struct nlattr *) 0xaaaad175a69c
  (gdb) n
  1206                          a = nl_attr_next(a);
  (gdb) n
  1207                      } while (a != action &&
  (gdb) n
  1206                          a = nl_attr_next(a);
  (gdb) print a
  $7 = (const struct nlattr *) 0xaaaad175a69c
  (gdb) print *a
  $8 = {nla_len = 0, nla_type = 0}
  (gdb)
