This patch breaks GRE tunnel with GRE_CSUM. since GRE_CSUM need
complete IP packet to checksum entire GRE payload.

Testing for o_flags&GRE_CSUM does not look too hurt here, since it will be used in ipgre_tunnel_xmit() later on
This is the only problematic case, right?

It does not work for me. I have GRE device with csum on. Ping works
fine but Netperf is not working.
Looking at code, I am not sure how tcp will work if inner packet TCP
checksum is calculated after GRE_CSUM calculation.
