[Patch] gre tunnels in 2.5/6

From: Paul Erkkila

This small patch fixes gre tunnels using keys (and probably sequencing/checksums) in 2.{5,6}.
If params aren't set before ipgre_tunnel_init is called, it miscalculates the header size, and
stomps on itself when encapsulating packets.

I'm not sure if the later initialization can be removed, or if this is the *correct* patch. It does
allow tunnels to work here.
