From: Eli Cohen <e...@mellanox.com>
Net devices might be removed. For example, a vxlan device could be
deleted and its ifnidex would become invalid. Use dev_get_by_index()
instead of __dev_get_by_index() to hold reference on the device while
accessing it and release after done.
Fixes: 3c37745ec614 ("net/mlx5e: Properly deal with encap flows add/del under
neigh update")
