From: Gal Pressman galp@mellanox.com
[ Upstream commit 6323514116404cc651df1b7fffa1311ddf8ce647 ]
mlx5e_vxlan_lookup_port is called both from mlx5e_add_vxlan_port (user context) and mlx5e_features_check (softirq), but the lock acquired does not disable bottom half and might result in deadlock. Fix it by simply replacing spin_lock() with spin_lock_bh(). While at it, replace all unnecessary spin_lock_irq() to spin_lock_bh().
