Or Gerlitz 3c37745ec6 net/mlx5e: Properly deal with encap flows add/del under neigh update
Currently, the encap action offload is handled in the actions parse
function and not in mlx5e_tc_add_fdb_flow() where we deal with all
the other aspects of offloading actions (vlan, modify header) and
the rule itself.

When the neigh update code (mlx5e_tc_encap_flows_add()) recreates the
encap entry and offloads the related flows, we wrongly call again into
mlx5e_tc_add_fdb_flow(), this for itself would cause us to handle
again the offloading of vlans and header re-write which puts things
in non consistent state and step on freed memory (e.g the modify
header parse buffer which is already freed).

Since on error, mlx5e_tc_add_fdb_flow() detaches and may release the
encap entry, it causes a corruption at the neigh update code which goes
over the list of flows associated with this encap entry, or double free
when the tc flow is later deleted by user-space.

When neigh update (mlx5e_tc_encap_flows_del()) unoffloads the flows related
to an encap entry which is now invalid, we do a partial repeat of the eswitch
flow removal code which is wrong too.

To fix things up we do the following:

(1) handle the encap action offload in the eswitch flow add function
    mlx5e_tc_add_fdb_flow() as done for the other actions and the rule itself.

(2) modify the neigh update code (mlx5e_tc_encap_flows_add/del) to only
    deal with the encap entry and rules delete/add and not with any of
    the other offloaded actions.
