[PATCH net-next 4/6] gre: let mac_header point to outer header only when necessary

[Guillaume Nault <gnault@redhat.com>]

Commit e271c7b4420d ("gre: do not keep the GRE header around in collect
medata mode") did reset the mac_header for the collect_md case. Let's
extend this behaviour to classical gre devices as well.

ipgre_header_parse() seems to be the only case that requires mac_header
to point to the outer header. We can detect this case accurately by
checking ->header_ops. For all other cases, we can reset mac_header.

This allows to push an Ethernet header to ipgre packets and redirect
them to an Ethernet device:

  $ tc filter add dev gre0 ingress matchall          \
      action vlan push_eth dst_mac 00:00:5e:00:53:01 \
                           src_mac 00:00:5e:00:53:00 \
      action mirred egress redirect dev eth0

Before this patch, this worked only for collect_md gre devices.
Now this works for regular gre devices as well. Only the special case
of gre devices that use ipgre_header_ops isn't supported.
