Subject: net/mlx5e: Fix possible deadlock of VXLAN lock

From: Gal Pressman <galp@mellanox.com>


[ Upstream commit 6323514116404cc651df1b7fffa1311ddf8ce647 ]

mlx5e_vxlan_lookup_port is called both from mlx5e_add_vxlan_port (user
context) and mlx5e_features_check (softirq), but the lock acquired does
not disable bottom half and might result in deadlock. Fix it by simply
replacing spin_lock() with spin_lock_bh().
While at it, replace all unnecessary spin_lock_irq() to spin_lock_bh().
