looks like i messed up the patch creation. I will fix that with the next 
series.

Today lwtunnel_skb_lwstate is called from lwtunnel_output which is only 
called from ipv4 code.
And my ipv6 variant code was supposed to have a 6 suffix. something like 
lwtunnel_output6.
Or to be more explicit i will probably have variants of the output and 
skb handling functions like,
lwtunnel_output_ipv4 and lwtunnel_output_ipv6.

ack, sorry abt the patch ordering. will fix it.

Thanks for the review.
