Re: [PATCH net-next 6/9] vxlan: dynamically allocate struct vxlan_config

Move 'struct vxlan_config' from an embedded structure inside
'struct vxlan_dev' to a dynamically allocated pointer 'vxlan->cfg'.

Updating configuration via vxlan_changelink() or vxlan_dev_configure()
now allocates a new struct vxlan_config and frees the previous one.

This prepares the ground for converting vxlan->cfg to RCU protection
in the following patch.
