Subject: ip6_gre: fix endianness errors in ip6gre_err
From: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit d1e158e2d7a0a91110b206653f0e02376e809150 upstream.
info is in network byte order, change it back to host byte order
before use. In particular, the current code sets the MTU of the tunnel
to a wrong (too big) value.
Fixes: c12b395a4664 ("gre: Support GRE over IPv6")
