Subject: [PATCH net 4/5] 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 following lockdep warning:

Call Trace:
  <TASK>
  ice_open_internal+0x253/0x350 [ice]
  __udp_tunnel_nic_assert_locked+0x86/0xb0 [udp_tunnel]

  ...
  </TASK>

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