[ Upstream commit 2b3957c34b6d7f03544b12ebbf875eee430745db ]
Commit 128bb975dc3c ("ip6_gre: init dev->mtu and dev->hard_header_len correctly") fixed IFLA_MTU ignored on NEWLINK for ip6_gre. The same mtu fix is also needed for sit.
Note that dev->hard_header_len setting for sit works fine, no need to fix it. sit is actually ipv4 tunnel, it can't call ip6_tnl_change_mtu to set mtu.
