Subject: [PATCH net 2/2] ovs/gre: fix rtnl notifications on iface deletion

The function gretap_fb_dev_create() (only used by ovs) never calls
rtnl_configure_link(). The consequence is that dev->rtnl_link_state is
never set to RTNL_LINK_INITIALIZED.
During the deletion phase, the function rollback_registered_many() sends
a RTM_DELLINK only if dev->rtnl_link_state is set to RTNL_LINK_INITIALIZED.

Fixes: b2acd1dc3949 ("openvswitch: Use regular GRE net_device instead of vport")
