openvswitch: change type of UPCALL_PID attribute to NLA_UNSPEC

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1848589

[ Upstream commit ea8564c8 ]

userspace openvswitch patch "(dpif-linux: Implement the API
functions to allow multiple handler threads read upcall)"
changes its type from U32 to UNSPEC, but leave the kernel
unchanged

and after kernel 6e237d09 "(netlink: Relax attr validation
for fixed length types)", this bug is exposed by the below
warning

	[   57.215841] netlink: 'ovs-vswitchd': attribute type 5 has an invalid length.

Fixes: 5cd667b0 ("openvswitch: Allow each vport to have an array of 'port_id's")
