[ Upstream commit 40857194956dcaf3d2b66d6bd113d844c93bef54 ]

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>

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