commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=108b9c1e6b15d74d2e3a3241901fbdaca42df524
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

This fixes a struct redefinition problem like this one:

================================
In file included from /usr/include/linux/if_tunnel.h:6:0,
from iptunnel.c:34:
/usr/include/linux/ip.h:85:8: error: redefinition of 'struct iphdr'
struct iphdr {
^
In file included from iptunnel.c:29:0:
/usr/include/netinet/ip.h:45:8: note: originally defined here
struct iphdr
^
================================

iptunnel.c includes netinet/ip.h which contains a definition of the
iphdr struct.

iptunnel.c also includes linux/if_tunnel.h which includes linux/ip.h
which contains a definition of the iphdr struct.

So, both netinet/ip.h and linux/ip.h define the iphdr struct, and both
of them have been included directly or indirectly by iptunnel.c. Because
of that the compilation fails due to a struct redefinition.

The problem can be solved by just not including netinet/ip.h.

The patch has been sent upstream as a merge request:
