This patch series converts VXLAN configuration (`struct vxlan_config`)
to be RCU-protected, allowing lockless readers and enabling RTNL-less
`vxlan_fill_info()` netlink link info dumping.

Work has been split into three distinct parts:

1. Refactor helper functions in RX, TX, MDB, VNIFILTER, and OVS paths to
   accept a `const struct vxlan_config *cfg` pointer (or pass specific
   fields such as `flags`/`saddr_family`) rather than accessing
   `vxlan->cfg` directly.

2. Convert `vxlan->cfg` from an embedded struct into an RCU-protected
   pointer (`struct vxlan_config __rcu *cfg`), dynamically allocated on
   device creation or changelink, and freed via `kfree_rcu()`. Update
   offload drivers (`mlxsw`) and OVS (`vport-vxlan.c`) accordingly.

3. Update `vxlan_fill_info()` to run under `rcu_read_lock()` instead of
   relying on RTNL lock, completing the transition to lockless link info
   dumping for VXLAN devices.

Eric Dumazet (3):
  vxlan: pass vxlan_config pointer to helper functions
  vxlan: convert configuration to RCU protection
  vxlan: no longer rely on RTNL in vxlan_fill_info()

In preparation for converting vxlan->cfg to an RCU-protected pointer,
refactor internal helper functions in the RX, TX, MDB, VNIFILTER, and
OVS paths to accept a pointer to struct vxlan_config (or pass flags/
saddr_family where appropriate) rather than directly accessing
vxlan->cfg.

In order to allow lockless readers in future patches, dynamically allocate
'struct vxlan_config' and convert 'vxlan->cfg' to an RCU protected pointer.

Updating configuration via vxlan_changelink() or __vxlan_dev_create()
now allocates a new struct vxlan_config, initializes it, and uses
rcu_assign_pointer() to publish it, freeing the previous config with
kfree_rcu().

Now that vxlan->cfg is RCU-protected, we can update vxlan_fill_info()
to run under RCU read lock instead of relying on RTNL.

This completes the transition to RTNL-less link info dumping for VXLAN.

LOCKDEP inablility to understand rcu_read_lock() and
rcu_read_lock_bh() is quite something.

rcu_bh has disappeared a long time ago (it is kept for historical reasons only).

Perhaps we should finally replace it with standard rcu, to avoid
stacking rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_lock_bh().
