Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: fix a potential use after free in gre_offload.c

From: Li RongQing <roy.qing.li@...il.com>

pskb_may_pull() may change skb->data and make greh pointer oboslete;
so need to reassign greh;
but since first calling pskb_may_pull already ensured that skb->data
has enough space for greh, so move the reference of greh before second
calling pskb_may_pull(), to avoid reassign greh.

Fixes: 7a7ffbabf9("ipv4: fix tunneled VM traffic over hw VXLAN/GRE GSO NIC")
