This reverts commit 546c044c9651e81a16833806feff6b369bb5de33.
Nothing prevents user from sending frames to "external" VxLAN devices.
In fact kernel itself may generate icmp chatter.
This is fine, such frames should be dropped.
The point of the "missing encapsulation" warning was that
frames with missing encap should not make it into vxlan_xmit_one().
And vxlan_xmit() drops them cleanly, so let it just do that.
Without this revert the warning is triggered by the udp_tunnel_nic.sh
test, but the minimal repro is:
$ ip link add vxlan0 type vxlan \
group 239.1.1.1 \
dev lo \
dstport 1234 \
external
$ ip li set dev vxlan0 up
[ 419.165981] vxlan0: Missing encapsulation instructions
[ 419.166551] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1041 at drivers/net/vxlan.c:2889 vxlan_xmit+0x15c0/0x1fc0 [vxlan]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
