           Summary: ICMP unreachable is not sent when receiving GRE

fix patch

This used to work in version 3.9. In file ip_gre.c, when a GRE packet is
received and tunnel lookup returned NULL (ie, no such interface), ipgre_rcv()
calls icmp_send() to respond with port unreachable message.

In the latest version, gre_demux.c tries to do the same thing in
gre_cisco_rcv(), but icmp_send fails because skb dst entry has been dropped
(during parse_gre_header() -> iptunnel_pull_header() ->  skb_dst_drop(skb);)
prior to calling icmp_send, causing icmp_send to return early due to rt is
NULL.

A fix patch is attached.
