Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] i40e: drop udp_tunnel_get_rx_info() call from i40e_open()

From: Mohammad Heib <mheib@...hat.com>

The i40e driver calls udp_tunnel_get_rx_info() during i40e_open().
This is redundant because UDP tunnel RX offload state is preserved
across device down/up cycles. The udp_tunnel core handles
synchronization automatically when required.

Furthermore, recent changes in the udp_tunnel infrastructure require
querying RX info while holding the udp_tunnel lock. Calling it
directly from the ndo_open path violates this requirement,
triggering the following lockdep warning:

  Call Trace:
   <TASK>
   ? __udp_tunnel_nic_assert_locked+0x39/0x40 [udp_tunnel]
   i40e_open+0x135/0x14f [i40e]

   ...
   </TASK>

Remove the redundant and unsafe call to i40e_open() to resolve the
locking violation.
