ip6_vti: adjust vti mtu according to mtu of lower device

Browse Source 
LTP/udp6_ipsec_vti tests fail when sending large UDP datagrams over
ip6_vti that require fragmentation and the underlying device has an
MTU smaller than 1500 plus some extra space for headers. This happens
because ip6_vti, by default, sets MTU to ETH_DATA_LEN and not updating
it depending on a destination address or link parameter. Further
attempts to send UDP packets may succeed because pmtu gets updated on
ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG in vti6_err().

In case the lower device has larger MTU size, e.g. 9000, ip6_vti works
but not using the possible maximum size, output packets have 1500 limit.

The above cases require manual MTU setup after ip6_vti creation. However
ip_vti already updates MTU based on lower device with ip_tunnel_bind_dev().

Here is the example when the lower device MTU is set to 9000:

  # ip a sh ltp_ns_veth2
      ltp_ns_veth2@if7: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 ...
        inet 10.0.0.2/24 scope global ltp_ns_veth2
        inet6 fd00::2/64 scope global

  # ip li add vti6 type vti6 local fd00::2 remote fd00::1
  # ip li show vti6
      vti6@NONE: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP> mtu 1500 ...
        link/tunnel6 fd00::2 peer fd00::1

After the patch:
  # ip li add vti6 type vti6 local fd00::2 remote fd00::1
  # ip li show vti6
      vti6@NONE: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP> mtu 8832 ...
        link/tunnel6 fd00::2 peer fd00::1
