3.16.7-ckt9 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Sabrina Dubroca <sd at queasysnail.net>

commit d1e158e2d7a0a91110b206653f0e02376e809150 upstream.

info is in network byte order, change it back to host byte order
before use. In particular, the current code sets the MTU of the tunnel
to a wrong (too big) value.

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