net: openvswitch: don't call pad_packet if not necessary

The nla_put_u16/nla_put_u32 makes sure that
*attrlen is align. The call tree is that:

nla_put_u16/nla_put_u32
  -> nla_put attrlen = sizeof(u16) or sizeof(u32)
  -> __nla_put attrlen
  -> __nla_reserve attrlen
  -> skb_put(skb, nla_total_size(attrlen))

nla_total_size returns the total length of attribute
including padding.
