Because that's exactly what I want: to skip any non-wildcard tunnels.

How I see ip_tunnel_lookup logic:
1) try to find exact match (and if found return this tunnel):
tunnel.saddr == iph.daddr && tunnel.daddr == iph.saddr && key_matched()
2) try to find matched (local) wildcard tunnel:
tunnel.saddr == any && tunnel.daddr == iph.saddr && key_matched()
3) try to find matched (remote) wildcard tunnel:
tunnel.saddr == iph.daddr && tunnel.daddr == any && key_matched()
(there is also a test for multicast tunnel, but let's skip it for simplicity)
4) try to find matched (full) wildcard tunnel:
tunnel.saddr == any && tunnel.daddr == any && key_matched()
5) if nothing found return default tunnel.

According to this logic, in 4th loop (the one you quoted) we have to test that
tunnel.daddr == any && tunnel.saddr == any. In my opinion those two new lines
are the best way to achieve it.
