3.16.7-ckt1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Li RongQing <roy.qing.li at gmail.com>

commit 1245dfc8cadb258386fcd27df38215a0eccb1f17 upstream.

pskb_may_pull() maybe change skb->data and make eth pointer oboslete,
so set eth after pskb_may_pull()

Fixes:3d7b46cd("ip_tunnel: push generic protocol handling to ip_tunnel module")
