vxlan: use __dev_get_by_index instead of dev_get_by_index to find interface
The following call chains indicate that vxlan_fdb_parse() is
under rtnl_lock protection. So if we use __dev_get_by_index()
instead of dev_get_by_index() to find interface handler in it,
this would help us avoid to change interface reference counter.
