I don't see a need for the macro protection any more. We can drop this
now.

David, can you respin this series without the macros and maybe add the

"case ARPHRD_IP6GRE:" stuff

as a separate patch (which should also go into net/stable). If you don't
want to do this, I also can take care of this, no problem.

You can then repost this one separate and state in the comment section
that this cleanup patch depends on the other two, so Dave can merge it
accordingly to net and net-next?

Otherwise this patch is fine, thanks!
