[ Upstream commit 128bb975dc3c25d00de04e503e2fe0a780d04459 ]
Commit b05229f44228 ("gre6: Cleanup GREv6 transmit path, call common GRE functions") moved dev->mtu initialization from ip6gre_tunnel_setup() to ip6gre_tunnel_init(), as a result, the previously set values, before ndo_init(), are reset in the following cases:
* rtnl_create_link() can update dev->mtu from IFLA_MTU parameter.
* ip6gre_tnl_link_config() is invoked before ndo_init() in netlink and ioctl setup, so ndo_init() can reset MTU adjustments with the lower device MTU as well, dev->mtu and dev->hard_header_len.
Not applicable for ip6gretap because it has one more call to ip6gre_tnl_link_config(tunnel, 1) in ip6gre_tap_init().
Fix the first case by updating dev->mtu with 'tb[IFLA_MTU]' parameter if a user sets it manually on a device creation, and fix the second one by moving ip6gre_tnl_link_config() call after register_netdevice().
