Quoting from net/core/dev.c:

which is the case for VXLAN (and GENEVE) during ndo_open, but I don't
think other UDP tunnels (FOU, L2TP) are holding RTNL when they call
udp_sock_create(). dev_get_by_index() + dev_put() should be safe.

Also, I don't think it's a problem with vxlan, but this could handle
the case where __dev_get_by_index returns NULL.
