ip6gre_init_net() frees the ip6gre_net of a netns whose VE lacks
VE_FEATURE_IPGRE, and ip6gre_newlink_common() refuses such a netns with
-EACCES. ip6gre_newlink() and ip6erspan_newlink() reach the NULL
ip6gre_net first, through ip6gre_tunnel_find() or collect_md_tun, so
"ip link add type ip6gre" by root in an ordinary container panics the
node once ip6_gre is loaded:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000320
RIP: 0010:ip6gre_tunnel_find+0x46/0xd0 [ip6_gre]
ip6gre_newlink+0x9b/0x120 [ip6_gre]
The check went into ip6gre_newlink_common(), which ran the tunnel lookup
until upstream commit b80d0b93b991 ("net: ip6_gre: fix tunnel metadata
device sharing.") moved the lookup into the newlink handlers. Move the
check to the top of both handlers. They are the only callers of
ip6gre_newlink_common() and serve as newlink for all three link types
(ip6gre, ip6gretap and ip6erspan), and nothing else in the helper uses
ip6gre_net.
Fixes: 46c13c45f25a ("net/gre: Consider VE_FEATURE_IPGRE on new net creation")
