From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit fe63339ef36bfb1cc12962015a9b254170eea057 ] This reverts commit 9cf448c200ba9935baa94e7a0964598ce947db9d. This commit was added for equivalence with a similar fix to ip_gre. That fix proved to have a bug. Upon closer inspection, ip6_gre is not susceptible to the original bug. So revert the unnecessary extra check. In short, ipgre_xmit calls skb_pull to remove ipv4 headers previously inserted by dev_hard_header. ip6gre_tunnel_xmit does not.
