This doesn't give us an option to disable TTL_INHERIT after it was
enabled once. Same thing with GBP, GPE, REMCSUM_NOPARTIAL.

GPE implies running a different setup function (vxlan_raw_setup() vs
vxlan_ether_setup()), that vxlan_config_apply() only calls for
!changelink. I think this is incomplete.
I think we'd also end up with mixed tunnel types (GPE/!GPE) on the
same socket, I'm not sure how that would work. Normally, they each try
to create a separate socket, and pass the GPE flag on to the
associated vxlan_sock. I suspect that's also a problem with rx
offload.
