In configurations with multiple tunnel layers and MPLS lwtunnel routing, a
single tunnel hop can increment the counter beyond this limit. This causes
packets to be dropped with the "Dead loop on virtual device" message even
when a routing loop doesn't exist.
Increase IP_TUNNEL_RECURSION_LIMIT from 4 to 5 to handle this use-case.
Fixes: 6f1a9140ec ("net: add xmit recursion limit to tunnel xmit functions")
