Okay, if the tunnel device is not up, packets will transfer to fallback tunnel, and if 
the fallback device is up, the RX drops will be increased as expected:

gre0: flags=193<UP,RUNNING,NOARP>  mtu 1476
        inet 172.16.20.1  netmask 255.255.255.0
        unspec 00-00-00-00-00-00-F0-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00  txqueuelen 1000  (UNSPEC)
        RX packets 105  bytes 4522 (4.4 KiB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 105  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

My question is  whether we should increase the drops of original tunnel device 
instead of fallback device?
