Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: ip_tunnels: disable dst cache for nbma gre tunnels

The connected check fails to check for ip_gre nbma mode tunnels
properly. ip_gre creates temporary tnl_params with daddr specified
to pass-in the actual target on per-packet basis from neighbor
layer. Detect these tunnels by inspecting the actual tunnel
configuration instead.

Should go to 3.14-stable too.

(This does not fix all NBMA GRE regressions in 3.14.
 I'm also getting weird oopses from GRO; will post soon more info.)
