Subject: [PATCH net 2/2] ice: drop udp_tunnel_get_rx_info() call from ndo_open()

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

The ice driver calls udp_tunnel_get_rx_info() during ice_open_internal().
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 lockdep warning.

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

Fixes: a4e82a81f573 ("ice: Add support for tunnel offloads")
