Subject: ip6_gre: only increase err_count for some certain type icmpv6 in ip6gre_err
From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit f8d20b46ce55cf40afb30dcef6d9288f7ef46d9b ]
The similar fix in patch 'ipip: only increase err_count for some
certain type icmp in ipip_err' is needed for ip6gre_err.
In Jianlin's case, udp netperf broke even when receiving a TooBig
icmpv6 packet.
