Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: gre: Fix null pointer dereference in gre_cisco_err()

When use the gre vport, openvswitch register a gre_cisco_protocol but
does not supply a err_handler with it. The gre_cisco_err() call the
err_handler without existence check, cause the kernel crash.

This patch base on v3.14-rc7. But the bug affect all kernel newer than
3.11!
