What do you get if you do an objdump -Dr ip_gre.ko

And then look for ipgre_init, and then subtract 0xb053 (45139) from its
address. As that is: ffffffffa0e81055 - ffffffffa0e76002, then see if
that object file has anything in that location.

There's also reverting c54419321455631079c7d6e60bc732dd0c5914c5 and see
if that fixes things. Just to confirm if that is the culprit.
