gso: do not skip outer ip header in case of ipip and net_failover

commit cc20cced0598d9a5ff91ae4ab147b3b5e99ee819 upstream.

We encounter a tcp drop issue in our cloud environment. Packet GROed in
host forwards to a VM virtio_net nic with net_failover enabled. VM acts
as a IPVS LB with ipip encapsulation. The full path like:
host gro -> vm virtio_net rx -> net_failover rx -> ipvs fullnat
 -> ipip encap -> net_failover tx -> virtio_net tx

When net_failover transmits a ipip pkt (gso_type = 0x0103, which means
SKB_GSO_TCPV4, SKB_GSO_DODGY and SKB_GSO_IPXIP4), there is no gso
did because it supports TSO and GSO_IPXIP4. But network_header points to
inner ip header.

Call Trace:
 tcp4_gso_segment        ------> return NULL
 inet_gso_segment        ------> inner iph, network_header points to
 ipip_gso_segment
 inet_gso_segment        ------> outer iph
 skb_mac_gso_segment

Afterwards virtio_net transmits the pkt, only inner ip header is modified.
And the outer one just keeps unchanged. The pkt will be dropped in remote
host.

Call Trace:
 inet_gso_segment        ------> inner iph, outer iph is skipped
 skb_mac_gso_segment
 __skb_gso_segment
 validate_xmit_skb
 validate_xmit_skb_list
 sch_direct_xmit
 __qdisc_run
 __dev_queue_xmit        ------> virtio_net
 dev_hard_start_xmit
 __dev_queue_xmit        ------> net_failover
 ip_finish_output2
 ip_output
 iptunnel_xmit
 ip_tunnel_xmit
 ipip_tunnel_xmit        ------> ipip
 dev_hard_start_xmit
 __dev_queue_xmit
 ip_finish_output2
 ip_output
 ip_forward
 ip_rcv
 __netif_receive_skb_one_core
 netif_receive_skb_internal
 napi_gro_receive
 receive_buf
 virtnet_poll
 net_rx_action

The root cause of this issue is specific with the rare combination of
SKB_GSO_DODGY and a tunnel device that adds an SKB_GSO_ tunnel option.
SKB_GSO_DODGY is set from external virtio_net. We need to reset network
header when callbacks.gso_segment() returns NULL.

This patch also includes ipv6_gso_segment(), considering SIT, etc.
