Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] Revert "ip_gre: propogate target device GSO capability to the tunnel device"

This reverts commit eb6b9a8cad65e820b145547844b108117cece3a0.

Above commit limits GSO capability of gre device to just TSO, but
software GRE-GSO is capable of handling all GSO capabilities.

This patch also fixes following panic which reverted commit introduced:-
