Paolo Abeni c9e78afa68 udp_tunnel: fix deadlock in udp_tunnel_nic_set_port_priv()
While configuring a vxlan tunnel in a system with a i40e NIC driver, I
observe the following deadlock:

 WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
 6.16.0-rc2.net-next-6.16_92d87230d899+ #13 Tainted: G            E
 --------------------------------------------
 kworker/u256:4/1125 is trying to acquire lock:
 ffff88921ab9c8c8 (&utn->lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: i40e_udp_tunnel_set_port (/home/pabeni/net-next/include/net/udp_tunnel.h:343 /home/pabeni/net-next/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c:13013) i40e

 but task is already holding lock:

 other info that might help us debug this:
  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0
        ----
   lock(&utn->lock);
   lock(&utn->lock);

  *** DEADLOCK ***

  May be due to missing lock nesting notation

AFAICS all the existing callsites of udp_tunnel_nic_set_port_priv() are
already under the utn lock scope, avoid (re-)acquiring it in such a
function.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
