4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Petr Machata <pe...@mellanox.com> [ Upstream commit 7fa38a7c852ec99e3a7fc375eb2c21c50c2e46b8 ] Extract from ip6gre_newlink() a reusable function ip6gre_newlink_common(). The ip6gre_tnl_link_config() call needs to be made customizable for ERSPAN, thus reorder it with calls to ip6_tnl_change_mtu() and dev_hold(), and extract the whole tail to the caller, ip6gre_newlink(). Thus enable an ERSPAN-specific _newlink() function without a lot of duplicity.
