openvswitch: Reject ct_state unsupported bits
Previously, if userspace specified ct_state bits in the flow key which are currently undefined (and therefore unsupported), then they would be ignored. This could cause unexpected behaviour in future if userspace is extended to support additional bits but attempts to communicate with the current version of the kernel. This patch rectifies the situation by rejecting such ct_state bits.
