ipv6: Simplify link-local address generation for IPv6 GRE.
Since commit 3e6a0243ff00 ("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 3e6a0243ff00 ("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).
