[PATCH 5.9 037/133] ip6_tunnel: set inner ipproto before ip6_tnl_encap

[ Upstream commit 9e7c5b396e98eed859d3dd1ab235912a296faab5 ]

ip6_tnl_encap assigns to proto transport protocol which
encapsulates inner packet, but we must pass to set_inner_ipproto
protocol of that inner packet.

Calling set_inner_ipproto after ip6_tnl_encap might break gso.
For example, in case of encapsulating ipv6 packet in fou6 packet, inner_ipproto
would be set to IPPROTO_UDP instead of IPPROTO_IPV6. This would lead to
incorrect calling sequence of gso functions:
ipv6_gso_segment -> udp6_ufo_fragment -> skb_udp_tunnel_segment -> udp6_ufo_fragment
instead of:
ipv6_gso_segment -> udp6_ufo_fragment -> skb_udp_tunnel_segment -> ip6ip6_gso_segment

Fixes: 6c11fbf97e69 ("ip6_tunnel: add MPLS transmit support")
