ip6_tunnel: do not allow loading ip6_tunnel if ipv6 is disabled in cmdline
If ipv6 has been disabled from cmdline since kernel started, it makes
no sense to allow users to create any ip6 tunnel. Otherwise, it could
some potential problem.
Jianlin found a kernel crash caused by this in ip6_gre when he set
ipv6.disable=1 in grub:

This patch is to return -EOPNOTSUPP in ip6_tunnel_init if ipv6 has been
disabled from cmdline.
