Nicolas Dichtel 0f3302adeb vxlan: fix test which detect duplicate vxlan iface
[ Upstream commit 07b9b37c22 ]

When a vxlan interface is created, the driver checks that there is not
another vxlan interface with the same properties. To do this, it checks
the existing vxlan udp socket. Since commit 1c51a9159d, the creation of
the vxlan socket is done only when the interface is set up, thus it breaks
that test.

Example:
$ ip l a vxlan10 type vxlan id 10 group 239.0.0.10 dev eth0 dstport 0
$ ip l a vxlan11 type vxlan id 10 group 239.0.0.10 dev eth0 dstport 0
$ ip -br l | grep vxlan
vxlan10          DOWN           f2:55:1c:6a:fb:00 <BROADCAST,MULTICAST>
vxlan11          DOWN           7a:cb:b9:38:59:0d <BROADCAST,MULTICAST>

Instead of checking sockets, let's loop over the vxlan iface list.
