Subject: net/mlx4_en: Add VXLAN ndo calls to the PF net device ops too
From: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 9737c6ab7afbc950e997ef80cba2c40dbbd16ea4 ]
This is currently missing, which results in a crash when one attempts
to set VXLAN tunnel over the mlx4_en when acting as PF.
[ 2408.785472] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
[...]
[ 2408.994104] Call Trace:
[ 2408.996584] [<ffffffffa021f7f5>] ? vxlan_get_rx_port+0xd6/0x103 [vxlan]

While here, make sure to invoke vxlan_get_rx_port() only when VXLAN
offloads are actually enabled and not when they are only supported.
