qede: sync udp_tunnel ports outside qede_lock in the recovery path

A TX timeout on a qede NIC that has VXLAN/GENEVE tunnel ports
configured wedges the rtnetlink control plane of the whole machine:

  NETDEV WATCHDOG: ens6f1 (qede): transmit queue 2 timed out 10226 ms
  [qede_tx_timeout:586(ens6f1)]TX timeout on queue 2!
  [qede_recovery_handler:2665(ens6f0)]Starting a recovery process

The recovery path deadlocks on the driver's own mutex:

  qede_sp_task
   rtnl_lock()
   mutex_lock(&edev->qede_lock)        <- taken
   qede_recovery_handler
    qede_load
    udp_tunnel_nic_reset_ntf
     __udp_tunnel_nic_device_sync
      info->sync_table == qede_udp_tunnel_sync
       mutex_lock(&edev->qede_lock)    <- same task: deadlock

The mutex is not recursive, so the kworker blocks on itself with
rtnl_lock held, and neither lock is ever released. Every task that
calls rtnl_lock() afterwards (ip, ovs-vswitchd, lldpad, IPv6
addrconf, sshd) blocks forever while the node still answers ping.
In a vmcore from an affected production node rtnl_mutex.owner
decodes to the very kworker blocked at the innermost mutex_lock()
above.

Re-sync the tunnel ports from qede_sp_task() after the internal lock
is dropped, still under rtnl_lock as the udp_tunnel API requires.
This mirrors qede_open(), which calls udp_tunnel_nic_reset_ntf()
under rtnl without the internal lock.

qede_recovery_handler() now returns whether it has successfully
reloaded an open device, and the caller re-syncs the ports only in
that case. This keeps the old gating exactly: a device that was down
or a failed recovery returns false, as those paths never reached the
udp_tunnel_nic_reset_ntf() call before either.

This was the only user of the qede_lock()/qede_unlock() helpers, so
remove them.
