[Devel] [PATCH DRAFT vz10 5/5] ve/net/ip6_gre: Enable ip6erspan support in Containers under VE_FEATURE_ERSPAN

Mirror the IPv4 ERSPAN containerization for IPv6. ip6erspan shares the
per-net state (ip6gre_net_id / struct ip6gre_net) and the fallback
device gating with ip6gre/ip6gretap, so unlike IPv4 it cannot use a
separate pernet id. Instead the shared ign is allocated whenever either
VE_FEATURE_IPGRE or VE_FEATURE_ERSPAN is set for the Container, and each
rtnl link operation checks its own feature bit via ve_feature_set().

Changes:

 - ip6gre_init_net() keeps the ign net_generic slot when the CT has
   VE_FEATURE_IPGRE *or* VE_FEATURE_ERSPAN; otherwise the slot is freed
   and lookups keep returning NULL as before.

 - ip6erspan_tap_setup() marks the device NETIF_F_VIRTUAL so that
   register_netdevice() permits it inside a non-super VE.

 - ip6gre_newlink()/ip6gre_changelink() now explicitly require
   VE_FEATURE_IPGRE, and ip6erspan_newlink()/ip6erspan_changelink()
   require VE_FEATURE_ERSPAN. Since the shared ign may now exist due to
   either feature, the previous implicit "ign == NULL means no IPGRE"
   gate is no longer sufficient to tell the two apart, so the per-op
   feature check is mandatory. The checks sit at the top of each op,
   before any ign dereference.

ERSPAN stays disabled by default for Containers (VE_FEATURES_DEF) and
enabled for the host (init_ve has all features), so host behaviour is
unchanged.
