3.13.11.11 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel at 6wind.com>

[ Upstream commit 3be07244b7337760a3269d56b2f4a63e72218648 ]

In xmit path, we build a flowi6 which will be used for the output route lookup.
We are sending a GRE packet, neither IPv4 nor IPv6 encapsulated packet, thus the
protocol should be IPPROTO_GRE.

Fixes: c12b395a4664 ("gre: Support GRE over IPv6")
