openvswitch: refactor do_output() to move NULL check out of fast path

Browse source 
skb_clone() NULL check is implemented in do_output(), as past of the
common (fast) path. Refactoring so that NULL check is done in the
slow path, immediately after skb_clone() is called.

Besides optimization, this change also improves code readability by
making the skb_clone() NULL check consistent within OVS datapath
module.
