ip_gre: dont increase dev->needed_headroom on a live device

Browse Source 
It seems ip_gre is able to change dev->needed_headroom on the fly.

Its is not legal unfortunately and triggers a BUG in raw_sendmsg()

skb = sock_alloc_send_skb(sk, ... + LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE(rt->dst.dev)

< another cpu change dev->needed_headromm (making it bigger)

...
skb_reserve(skb, LL_RESERVED_SPACE(rt->dst.dev));

We end with LL_RESERVED_SPACE() being bigger than LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE()
-> we crash later because skb head is exhausted.

Bug introduced in commit 243aad83 in 2.6.34 (ip_gre: include route
header_len in max_headroom calculation)
