[ 15/98] Revert "ip_gre: make ipgre_tunnel_xmit() not parse network header as IP unconditionally"

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

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


From: Timo TerÃs <timo.teras@xxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 8c6216d7f118a128678270824b6a1286a63863ca ]

This reverts commit 412ed94744d16806fbec3bd250fd94e71cde5a1f.

The commit is wrong as tiph points to the outer IPv4 header which is
installed at ipgre_header() and not the inner one which is protocol dependant.

This commit broke succesfully opennhrp which use PF_PACKET socket with
ETH_P_NHRP protocol. Additionally ssl_addr is set to the link-layer
IPv4 address. This address is written by ipgre_header() to the skb
earlier, and this is the IPv4 header tiph should point to - regardless
of the inner protocol payload.
