vxlan: fix initialization with custom link parameters
Commit 0c867c9b ("vxlan: move Ethernet initialization to a separate function") changed initialization order and as an unintended result, when the user specifies additional link parameters (such as IFLA_ADDRESS) while creating vxlan interface, those are overwritten by vxlan_ether_setup later. It's necessary to call ether_setup from withing the ->setup callback. That way, the correct parameters are set by rtnl_create_link later. This is done also for VXLAN-GPE, as we don't know the interface type yet at that point, and changed to the correct interface type later.
