====================
vxlan: Fix NPDs when using nexthop objects
With FDB nexthop groups, VXLAN FDB entries do not necessarily point to
a remote destination but rather to an FDB nexthop group. This means that
first_remote_{rcu,rtnl}() can return NULL and a few places in the driver
were not ready for that, resulting in NULL pointer dereferences.
Patches #1-#2 fix these NPDs.
Note that vxlan_fdb_find_uc() still dereferences the remote returned by
first_remote_rcu() without checking that it is not NULL, but this
function is only invoked by a single driver which vetoes the creation of
FDB nexthop groups. I will patch this in net-next to make the code less
fragile.
Patch #3 adds a selftests which exercises these code paths and tests
basic Tx functionality with FDB nexthop groups. I verified that the test
crashes the kernel without the first two patches.
