1) gre_parse_header() can be called from gre_err()

   At this point transport header points to ICMP header, not the inner
header.

2) We can not really change transport header as ipgre_err() will later
assume transport header still points to ICMP header (using icmp_hdr())

3) pskb_may_pull() logic in gre_parse_header() really works
  if we are interested at zone pointed by skb->data

4) As Jiri explained in commit b7f8fe251e46 ("gre: do not pull header in
ICMP error processing") we should not pull headers in error handler.

So this fix :

A) changes gre_parse_header() to use skb->data instead of
skb_transport_header()

B) Adds a nhs parameter to gre_parse_header() so that we can skip the
not pulled IP header from error path.
  This offset is 0 for normal receive path.

C) remove obsolete IPV6 includes
