gre: Check whether IPv6 is compiled into the kernel.
Add guards to check whether IPv6 is supported by the kernel instead
of causing the module to fail to load. If IPv6 is not supported
these packets can still be encapsulated but they will not receive any
special treatment such as path MTU discovery.
