Subject: [net-next 2/3] ip_gre: fix erspan tunnel mtu calculation

Remove the unnecessary -4 and +4 bytes at mtu and headroom calculation.
In addition, erspan uses fixed 8-byte gre header, so add ERSPAN_GREHDR_LEN
macro for better readability.

Now tunnel->hlen = grehdr(8) + erspanhdr(8) = 16 byte.
The mtu should be ETH_DATA_LEN - 16 - iph(20) = 1464.
After the ip_tunnel_bind_dev(), the mtu is adjusted to
1464 - 14 (dev->hard_header_len) = 1450.
The maximum skb->len the erspan tunnel can carry without
being truncated is 1450 + 14 = 1464 byte.
