flow_dissector: Use IPv6 flow label in flow_dissector

Browse Source 
This patch implements the receive side to support RFC 6438 which is to
use the flow label as an ECMP hash. If an IPv6 flow label is set
in a packet we can use this as input for computing an L4-hash. There
should be no need to parse any transport headers in this case.
