    net: vrf: set operstate and mtu at link create · b87ab6b8

    The VRF device exists to define L3 domains and guide FIB lookups. As
    such its operstate is not relevant. Seeing 'state UNKNOWN' in the
    output of 'ip link show' can be confusing, so set operstate at link
    create.
    
    Similarly, the MTU for a VRF device is not used; any fragmentation
    of the payload is done on the output path based on the real egress
    device. An MTU of 1500 on the VRF device while enslaved devices
    have a higher MTU can lead to confusion. Since the VRF MTU is not
    relevant set to 64k similar to what is done for loopback.
