openvswitch: reduce stack usage in do_execute_actions

Browse Source 
do_execute_actions() function can be called recursively multiple
times while executing actions that require pipeline forking or
recirculations.  It may also be re-entered multiple times if the packet
leaves openvswitch module and re-enters it through a different port.

Currently, there is a 256-byte array allocated on stack in this
function that is supposed to hold NSH header.  Compilers tend to
pre-allocate that space right at the beginning of the function:

     a88:       48 81 ec b0 01 00 00    sub    $0x1b0,%rsp

NSH is not a very common protocol, but the space is allocated on every
recursive call or re-entry multiplying the wasted stack space.

Move the stack allocation to push_nsh() function that is only used
if NSH actions are actually present.  push_nsh() is also a simple
function without a possibility for re-entry, so the stack is returned
right away.

With this change the preallocated space is reduced by 256 B per call:

     b18:       48 81 ec b0 00 00 00    sub    $0xb0,%rsp
