ip6_gre: update dst pmtu if dev mtu has been updated by toobig in __gre6_xmit
When receiving a Toobig icmpv6 packet, ip6gre_err would just set tunnel dev's mtu, that's not enough. For skb_dst(skb)'s pmtu may still be using the old value, it has no chance to be updated with tunnel dev's mtu. Jianlin found this issue by reducing route's mtu while running netperf, the performance went to 0. ip6ip6 and ip4ip6 tunnel can work well with this, as they lookup the upper dst and update_pmtu it's pmtu or icmpv6_send a Toobig to upper socket after setting tunnel dev's mtu. We couldn't do that for ip6_gre, as gre's inner packet could be any protocol, it's difficult to handle them (like lookup upper dst) in a good way. So this patch is to fix it by updating skb_dst(skb)'s pmtu when dev->mtu < skb_dst(skb)'s pmtu in tx path. It's safe to do this update there, as usually dev->mtu <= skb_dst(skb)'s pmtu and no performance regression can be caused by this.
