vxlan: fix unexpected failure of vxlan_changelink()

After commit 0ce1822c ("vxlan: add adjacent link to limit depth
level"), vxlan_changelink() could fail because of
netdev_adjacent_change_prepare().
netdev_adjacent_change_prepare() returns -EEXIST when old lower device
and new lower device are same.
(old lower device is "dst->remote_dev" and new lower device is "lowerdev")
So, before calling it, lowerdev should be NULL if these devices are same.

Test command1:
    ip link add dummy0 type dummy
    ip link add vxlan0 type vxlan dev dummy0 dstport 4789 vni 1
    ip link set vxlan0 type vxlan ttl 5
