The approach for offloading IP tunnels implemented currently by mlxsw doesn't allow two tunnels that have the same local IP address in the same (underlay) VRF. Previously, offloads were introduced on demand as encap routes were formed. When such a route was created that would cause offload of a conflicting tunnel, mlxsw_sp_ipip_entry_create() would detect it and return -EEXIST, which would propagate up and cause FIB abort. Now however IPIP entries are created as soon as an offloadable netdevice is created, and the failure prevents creation of such device. Furthermore, if the driver is installed at the point where such conflicting tunnels exist, the failure actually prevents successful modprobe. Furthermore, follow-up patches implement handling of NETDEV_CHANGE due to the local address change. However, NETDEV_CHANGE can't be vetoed. The failure merely means that the offloads weren't updated, but the change in Linux configuration is not rolled back. It is thus desirable to have a robust way of handling these conflicts, which can later be reused for handling NETDEV_CHANGE as well. To fix this, when a conflicting tunnel is created, instead of failing, simply pull the old tunnel to slow path and reject offloading the new one. Introduce two functions: mlxsw_sp_ipip_entry_demote_tunnel() and mlxsw_sp_ipip_demote_tunnel_by_saddr() to handle this. Make them both public, because they will be useful later on in this patchset.
