Subject: iproute2: silence errors about kernel missing 6rd on "ip tun show".

Hello!

As reported in http://bugs.debian.org/575970 there is currently a warning
printed for every tunnel when using latest iproute2 on atleast <= 2.6.32
kernels (missing 6rd?!).

The attached patch avoids perror when errno is EINVAL, which I assume
is the way to detect missing 6rd support. A better/cleaner
method to detect and avoid 6rd when there's no kernel support
is more then welcome.

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
