[ Upstream commit ae148b085876fa771d9ef2c05f85d4b4bf09ce0d ]
This patch updates skb->protocol to ETH_P_IPV6 in ip6_tnl_xmit() when an
IPv6 header is installed to a socket buffer.
This is not a cosmetic change. Without updating this value, GSO packets
transmitted through an ipip6 tunnel have the protocol of ETH_P_IP and
skb_mac_gso_segment() will attempt to call gso_segment() for IPv4,
which results in the packets being dropped.
