3.8.13.4 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sridhar Samudrala <sri at us.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 014be2c8eac3381e202f684c1f35ae184a8b152b ]

Fix some instances where vxlan fdb 'used' field is not updated after the entry
is used.

v2: rename vxlan_find_mac() as __vxlan_find_mac() and create a new vxlan_find_mac()
that also updates ->used field.
