The breakage was introduced in 2016 in Linux commit
1fe8e0f074c77aa41aaa579345a9e675acbebfa9. Incidentally, they *knew*
this was wrong back in 2009; before the UAPI headers were separated
out, commit 0afd4a21ba7d75e93fa79cf05d7a21774e149c0f documents that if
if_tunnel.h includes linux/ip.h it will break userspace, and puts it
under #ifdef __KERNEL__.
