net/ipv6/sit.c: return unhandled skb to tunnel4_rcv



I found a problem using an IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel.  When CONFIG_IPV6_SIT
was enabled, the packets would be rejected as net/ipv6/sit.c was catching
all IPPROTO_IPV6 packets and returning an ICMP port unreachable error.

I think this patch fixes the problem cleanly.  I believe the code in
net/ipv4/tunnel4.c:tunnel4_rcv takes care of it properly if none of the
handlers claim the skb.
