A packet that reaches gre_rcv() and does not belong to any tunnel is dropped, after an ICMP port unreachable is sent back, with a plain kfree_skb(). This is the GRE counterpart of a UDP packet hitting no socket, and by far the most common way a GRE packet is dropped on receive, yet nothing tells it apart from a malformed one. Add SKB_DROP_REASON_GRE_TUNNEL_NOT_FOUND for it, in the spirit of the existing SKB_DROP_REASON_VXLAN_VNI_NOT_FOUND, and report it from erspan_rcv() and __ipgre_rcv() through a new output parameter, so that a failed lookup is not reported the same way as a header that could not be pulled or as a metadata allocation failure. The header pull failures reuse SKB_DROP_REASON_HDR_TRUNC and the metadata allocation failures reuse SKB_DROP_REASON_NOMEM.
