Subject: [PATCH net-next] gre_offload: statically build GRE offloading
 support

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

GRO/GSO layers can be enabled on a node, even if said
node is only forwarding packets.

This patch permits GSO (and upcoming GRO) support for GRE
encapsulated packets, even if the host has no GRE tunnel setup.

Note : We probably can remove EXPORT_SYMBOL() on inet_add_offload()
and inet_del_protocol() on a followup patch if there is interest.
