When signalling to metadata consumers that the metadata_dst entry

the dst's vxlan_metadata information is populated, but options_len

options_len before extracting the data through ip_tunnel_info_opts_get().

Geneve uses ip_tunnel_info_opts_set() helper in receive path, which
sets options_len internally, vxlan however uses ip_tunnel_info_opts(),
so when filling vxlan_metadata, we do need to update options_len.

Why not set it in tun_rx_dst() where it is allocated?

Nope, current convention is to only fill options_len when an actual
option was detected on RX, f.e. see ip_tunnel_info_opts_set() in
geneve. Consumers like ovs_flow_key_extract() check for options_len
and not TUNNEL_OPTIONS_PRESENT to copy it via ip_tunnel_info_opts_get()
from there.
