6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Doruk Tan Ozturk <[email protected]>

commit 3a61bd9637f3d929aa846e4eb3d98b48c26fcb0e upstream.

A tunnel changelink() operates on at most two netns, dev_net(dev) and
the sticky underlay netns vxlan->net. They differ once the device is
created in or moved to a netns other than the one the request runs in.
The rtnl changelink path checks CAP_NET_ADMIN only against dev_net(dev),
so a caller privileged there but not in vxlan->net can rewrite a vxlan
device whose underlay lives in vxlan->net.

vxlan_changelink() validates and applies the new configuration against
vxlan->net (vxlan_config_validate(vxlan->net, ...)) and can reopen the
underlay socket in that netns, so the same reasoning as the tunnel
changelink series applies here.

Gate vxlan_changelink() with rtnl_dev_link_net_capable(), at the top of
the op before any attribute is parsed, matching ipgre_changelink() and
the rest of the "require CAP_NET_ADMIN in the device netns for
changelink" series.
