Subject: [PATCH] gre: Fix ttl inherit option

Specifying "... ttl inherit" currently does nothing on a GRE link
modify since the previous ttl value is retrieved up front. Fix this by
explicitly setting ttl to 0 when "inherit" is specified for the
option, since 0 represents the semantics of inherit.
