Subject: [PATCH] ip_gre: include route header_len in max_headroom calculation

Taking route's header_len into account, and updating gre device
needed_headroom will give better hints on upper bound of required
headroom. This is useful if the gre traffic is xfrm'ed.

I just never got to writing the patch until now.
