Subject: ip6_gre: fix endianness errors in ip6gre_err

From: Sabrina Dubroca <[email protected]>

commit d1e158e2d7a0a91110b206653f0e02376e809150 upstream.

info is in network byte order, change it back to host byte order before use. In particular, the current code sets the MTU of the tunnel to a wrong (too big) value.
