Subject: [PATCH net] benet: stricter vxlan offloading check in be_features_check

When VXLAN offloading is enabled, be_features_check() tries to check if
an encapsulated packet is indeed a VXLAN packet. The check is not strict
enough, and considers any UDP-encapsulated ethernet frame with a 8-byte
tunnel header as being VXLAN. Unfortunately, both GENEVE and VXLAN-GPE
have a 8-byte header, so they get through this check.

Force the UDP destination port to be the one that has been offloaded to
hardware.

Without this, GENEVE-encapsulated packets can end up having an incorrect
checksum when both a GENEVE and a VXLAN (offloaded) tunnel are
configured.

This is similar to commit a547224dceed ("mlx4e: Do not attempt to
offload VXLAN ports that are unrecognized").

mlx4/5 already do something similar, but nfp/bnx2x/qlcnic don't.

This check was introduced in commit 16dde0d6ac15, but only made invalid
when GENEVE was introduced in 2d07dc79fe04.
