Subject: [net] gre: fix the inner mac header in nbma gre tunnels xmit path

The NBMA GRE tunnels temporarily push GRE header that contain the
per-packet NBMA destination on the skb via header ops early in xmit
path. It is the later pulled before the real GRE header is constructed.

The inner mac was thus set differently in nbma case: the GRE header
has been pushed by neighbor layer, and mac header points to beginning
of the temporary gre header (set by dev_queue_xmit).

Now that the offloads expect mac header to point to the gre payload,
fix the xmit patch to:
 - pull first the temporary gre header away
 - and reset mac header to point to gre payload

This fixes tso to work again with nbma tunnels.

Though, normally mac header does point to the begging of the hardware header.
E.g. in ethernet case it's pointing to the ethernet header. But now in gre
case it's instead pointing to the payload which seems counter-intuitive to me.
But I guess tunnels are a bit of special case, and there's valid reasons to
have it point to tunnel payload too.

Applying this patch on top of the Tom's previous fix of 14051f0452a2 seems to
now make my dmvpn scenario work again. So this should go to -stable too
(atleast 3.14).
