Fixed per https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/7061

The reason of the difference of behaviour is that if you do "ogrinfo a.kml", ogrinfo tries to 
open in read-update mode, and only the LIBKML supports it, so the GML driver (which is 
registered, and thus tried, before the LIBML) will be skipped

When you do "ogr2ogr out in.kml", the input file is opened in read-only mode, so the GML 
driver tried to open it and seeing a
xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" (useless in that context) declaration thought that 
it should open it.
