When creating an IP tunnel over IPv6, the address family must be passed in
the option, e.g.

ip -6 tunnel add mode ip6gre local 1::1 remote 2::2

This makes it impossible to create both IPv4 and IPv6 tunnels in one batch.

In fact the address family option is redundant here, as each tunnel mode is
relevant for only one address family.
The patch determines whether the applicable address family is AF_INET6
instead of the default AF_INET and makes the "-6" option unnecessary for
"ip tunnel add".

Patch

Subject: [PATCH] Tunnel address family is determined from the tunnel mode

When the tunnel mode already tells the IP address family, "ip tunnel"
command determines it and does not require option "-4"/"-6" to be passed.

This makes possible creating both IPv4 and IPv6 tunnels in one batch.
