Subject: [net 11/14] net/mlx5e: Prevent possible races in VXLAN control flow

From: Gal Pressman <galp@...lanox.com>

When calling add/remove VXLAN port, a lock must be held in order to
prevent race scenarios when more than one add/remove happens at the
same time.
Fix by holding our state_lock (mutex) as done by all other parts of the
driver.
Note that the spinlock protecting the radix-tree is still needed in
order to synchronize radix-tree access from softirq context.

Fixes: b3f63c3d5e2c ("net/mlx5e: Add netdev support for VXLAN tunneling")
