ipv6: Simplify link-local address generation for IPv6 GRE.
Since commit 3e6a0243 ("gre: Fix again IPv6 link-local address generation."), addrconf_gre_config() has stopped handling IP6GRE devices specially and just calls the regular addrconf_addr_gen() function to create their link-local IPv6 addresses. We can thus avoid using addrconf_gre_config() for IP6GRE devices and use the normal IPv6 initialisation path instead (that is, jump directly to addrconf_dev_config() in addrconf_init_auto_addrs()). See commit 3e6a0243 ("gre: Fix again IPv6 link-local address generation.") for a deeper explanation on how and why GRE devices started handling their IPv6 link-local address generation specially, why it was a problem, and why this is not even necessary in most cases (especially for GRE over IPv6).
