[PATCH net-next 2/2] selftests: openvswitch: set value to nla flags

From: Adrian Moreno
Date: Mon Jun 03 2024 - 14:31:55 EST


Netlink flags, although they don't have payload at the netlink level,
are represented as having a "True" value in pyroute2.

Without it, trying to add a flow with a flag-type action (e.g: pop_vlan)
fails with the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
