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().

Fixes: db2ec95d1ba4 ("ip6_gre: Fix MTU setting")

v2: Instead of checking whether dev->mtu equals zero or not
    in ip6gre_tunnel_init_common(), update 'dev->mtu' once
    more with 'IFLA_MTU' parameter after register_netdevice().

Applied and queued up for -stable, thanks Alexey.

I was almost tricked that this approach would have problems
because you do the MTU setting after register_netdevice(), but
we hold the RTNL semaphore so even if the device becomes
globally visible the user can't perform a change of the
device's MTU before we do it.

Thanks.
