[PATCH] ip_gre.c in 2.6.0-test5

[Michal Ludvig <michal@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
this trivial patch fixes possible kernel crash when using GRE tunnels in 
2.6.0-test. The problem was that "dev->init" wasn't set before 
register_netdevice() call and so the initialization function was never 
called. Consequently some fields in the tunnel structure were not 
initialized what finally led to a kernel crash upon receiving the first 
packet over the GRE tunnel.
