If you look at next patch, I have changed geneve_open and stop
further. The change is geneve_open adds tunnel to hash table so that
only device which are open are in hash table. Since geneve_open and
stop is common for both type of tunnel I do not think there can be any
changes even after avoiding overlapping tunnel types in given socket.
