Subject: [PATCH][IPV4] ip_gre: set mac_header correctly in receive path

From: Timo Teras <timo.teras@....fi>

mac_header update in ipgre_recv() was incorrectly changed to
skb_reset_mac_header() when it was introduced.

This replaces my earlier patch titled "ip_gre: use skb->{mac,
network}_header consistently". Apparently I hadn't done my homework how
to use *_header correctly. And I should have done a bit more testing to
figure out the previous patch does not work.

But the main problem was the receive path in the first place, and this
patch fixes it.

The bug was introduced in commit 459a98ed881802dee55897441bc7f77af614368e.
There might be other similar incorrect replaces.
