Sorry if this is a no-op -- I'm admittedly not familiar with this part
of the tree. I had added this check based on this discussion on the
OVS mailing list:
https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-discuss/2021-February/050966.html

The motivation to add it was based on the fact that skb_scrub_packet
is doing it conditionally as well, but you seem to indicate that
skb_scrub_packet itself is already being done somewhere?

Cheers,
Tyler
