net: gre: fix lltx regression for GRE tunnels with SEQ/CSUM
Before commit
00d066a4d4ed ("netdev_features: convert NETIF_F_LLTX to
dev->lltx"), NETIF_F_LLTX was set unconditionally in both
__gre_tunnel_init() and ip6gre_tnl_init_features() alongside
GRE_FEATURES:
dev->features |= GRE_FEATURES | NETIF_F_LLTX;
When that commit converted NETIF_F_LLTX to the dev->lltx flag, it
placed 'dev->lltx = true' after the SEQ/CSUM early returns instead
of before them. This causes GRE/GRETAP/ip6gre tunnels with SEQ or
CSUM+encap to lose lockless TX, reintroducing _xmit_lock acquisition
around their ndo_start_xmit. Since GRE xmit re-enters the stack via
ip_tunnel_xmit(), holding _xmit_lock risks ABBA deadlock with the
underlay device.

lock(&qdisc_xmit_lock_key#6);
lock(&qdisc_xmit_lock_key#3);
lock(&qdisc_xmit_lock_key#6);
lock(&qdisc_xmit_lock_key#3);
Fix by moving dev->lltx = true before the early returns in both
functions, restoring the original unconditional behavior.
