No ifdef here? Maybe remove these ifdef everywhere?

I wanted to avoid adding many ifdefs and I expect this to be compiled out
when CONFIG_NF_CT_PROTO_GRE=n as this block is unreachable anyway. It rather
may have been unintuitive though.

Removing all of these ifdefs will cause inconsistent behavior between
CONFIG_NF_CT_PROTO_GRE=n/y.
When CONFIG_NF_CT_PROTO_GRE=n, conntrack cannot determine GRE version, thus
it will track GREv1 without key infomation, and the flow will be offloaded.
When CONFIG_NF_CT_PROTO_GRE=y, GREv1 will have key information and will not
be offloaded.
I wanted to just refuse offloading of GRE to avoid this inconsistency.
Anyway this kind of inconsistency seems to happen in software conntrack, so
if you'd like to remove ifdefs, I will do.

Good point, thanks for explaining. LGTM.

Let me confirm, did you agree to keep ifdefs, or delete them?
