Subject: [RFC PATCH net v2] ipv4: ip_gre: Fix drops of small packets in ipgre_xmit

Regression Description:

Depending on the GRE tunnel device options, small packets are being
dropped. This occurs because the pskb_network_may_pull function fails due
to insufficient space in the network header. For example, if only the key
option is specified for the tunnel device, packets of sizes up to 27
(including the IPv4 header itself) will be dropped. This affects both
locally originated and forwarded packets in the DMVPN-like setups.

How to reproduce (for local originated packets):

  ip link add dev gre1 type gre ikey 1.9.8.4 okey 1.9.8.4 \
          local <your-ip> remote 0.0.0.0

  ip link set mtu 1400 dev gre1
  ip link set up dev gre1
  ip address add 192.168.13.1/24 dev gre1
  ip neighbor add 192.168.13.2 lladdr <remote-ip> dev gre1
  ping -s 1374 -c 10 192.168.13.2
  tcpdump -vni gre1
  tcpdump -vni <your-ext-iface> 'ip proto 47'
  ip -s -s -d link show dev gre1

Solution:

Use the pskb_may_pull function instead the pskb_network_may_pull.

v1 -> v2 :
- Fix the reproduce commands
- Move out the 'tnl_params' assignment line to the more suitable place
with Eric's suggestion
