The function nf_nat_need_gre() on being called, simply returns
back. The function doesn't have FIXME code around.
Hence, nf_nat_need_gre() and its calls have been removed.

There is a good reason why we have this :)

By digging out and doing a bit of software archeology work via the
'git annotate' you know this triggers an explicit module dependency.
