ip6_tunnel: do not allow loading ip6_tunnel if ipv6 is disabled in cmdline

[ Upstream commit 8c22dab0 ]

If ipv6 has been disabled from cmdline since kernel started, it makes
no sense to allow users to create any ip6 tunnel. Otherwise, it could
some potential problem.

Jianlin found a kernel crash caused by this in ip6_gre when he set
ipv6.disable=1 in grub:

This patch is to return -EOPNOTSUPP in ip6_tunnel_init if ipv6 has been
disabled from cmdline.
