This patch is to let it always do CRC checksum in sctp_gso_segment()
by removing CRC flag from the dev features in gre_gso_segment() for
SCTP over GRE, just as it does in Commit 527beb8ef9c0 ("udp: support
sctp over udp in skb_udp_tunnel_segment") for SCTP over UDP.

It could set csum/csum_start in GSO CB properly in sctp_gso_segment()
after that commit, so it would do checksum with gso_make_checksum()
in gre_gso_segment(), and Commit 622e32b7d4a6 ("net: gre: recompute
gre csum for sctp over gre tunnels") can be reverted now.

Makes sense, but does GRE tunnels don't always have a csum.

Is the current hardware not capable of generating CRC csums over
encapsulated patches at all?

I guess UDP tunnels can be configured without the csums as well 
so the situation isn't much different.
