ipv6: gro: support sit protocol

Tom Herbert added SIT support to GRO with commit
19424e05

 ("sit: Add gro callbacks to sit_offload"),
later reverted by Herbert Xu.

The problem came because Tom patch was building GRO
packets without proper meta data : If packets were locally
delivered, we would not care.

But if packets needed to be forwarded, GSO engine was not
able to segment individual segments.

With the following patch, we correctly set skb->encapsulation
and inner network header. We also update gso_type.

Tested:

Server :
netserver
modprobe dummy
ifconfig dummy0 8.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
arp -s 8.0.0.100 4e:32:51:04:47:e5
iptables -I INPUT -s 10.246.7.151 -j TEE --gateway 8.0.0.100
ifconfig sixtofour0
sixtofour0 Link encap:IPv6-in-IPv4

          RX bytes:20319631739 (20.3 GB)  TX bytes:29529556 (29.5 MB)

Client :

Checked on server traffic copied on dummy0 and verify segments were
properly rebuilt, with proper IP headers, TCP checksums...

tcpdump on eth0 shows proper GRO aggregation takes place.
