[PATCH 3.16 273/306] ipv6: Set skb->protocol properly for local output

From: Eli Cooper <elicooper@gmx.com>

commit b4e479a96fc398ccf83bb1cffb4ffef8631beaf1 upstream.

When xfrm is applied to TSO/GSO packets, it follows this path:

xfrm_output() -> xfrm_output_gso() -> skb_gso_segment()

where skb_gso_segment() relies on skb->protocol to function properly.

This patch sets skb->protocol to ETH_P_IPV6 before dst_output() is called,
fixing a bug where GSO packets sent through an ipip6 tunnel are dropped
when xfrm is involved.
