[Bionic/Cosmic/Disco/Unstable][SRU][PATCH 1/1] UBUNTU: SAUCE: openvswitch: Disable eventmask support on 32-bit

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1736390

Openvswitch eventmask support for CT actions was introduced with commit
120645513f55 ("openvswitch: Add eventmask support to CT action."). This
commit introduces a regression on i386 which results in a kernel crash.
Fix that by disabling eventmask support on i386.

Per upstream, the result of *not* having this "will cause additional CPU
use and potential buffering issues for CT event monitors in userspace."

Fixes: 120645513f55 ("openvswitch: Add eventmask support to CT action.")
