vxlan: fix default fdb entry user-space notify ordering/race
Problem:
In vxlan_newlink, a default fdb entry is added before register_netdev.
The default fdb creation function notifies user-space of the
fdb entry on the vxlan device which user-space does not know about yet.
(RTM_NEWNEIGH goes before RTM_NEWLINK for the same ifindex).
This series fixes the user-space netlink notification ordering issue
with the following changes:
- decouple fdb notify from fdb create.
- Move fdb notify after register_netdev.
- modify rtnl_configure_link to allow configuring a link early.
- Call rtnl_configure_link in vxlan newlink handler to notify
userspace about the newlink before fdb notify and
hence avoiding the user-space race.
====================

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
