I think you probably need to move this patch later in the series -
otherwise it won't compile on its own since it references
UDP_TUNNEL_VXLAN, which isn't defined until patch 4.
I somewhat wonder if udp_offload_lock should be converted to a mutex
instead of spinlock since we could potentially hold it while talking
to hardware, which might take a little while. However, this isn't a
new issue - the previous VXLAN lock held while doing this operation
was a spinlock and there shouldn't be too much contention on this
anyways.
