ip6gre: avoid tx_error when sending MLD/DAD on external tunnels



similarly to what has been done with commit 9d149045 ("geneve: change
from tx_error to tx_dropped on missing metadata"), avoid reporting errors
to userspace in case the kernel doesn't find any tunnel information for a
skb that is going to be transmitted: an increase of tx_dropped is enough.

tested with the following script:

 # for t in ip6gre ip6gretap ip6erspan; do
 > ip link add dev gre6-test0 type $t external
 > ip address add dev gre6-test0 2001:db8::1/64
 > ip link set dev gre6-test0 up
 > sleep 30
 > ip -s -j link show dev gre6-test0 | jq \
 > '.[0].stats64.tx | {"errors": .errors, "dropped": .dropped}'
 > ip link del dev gre6-test0
 > done
