tipc: check minimum bearer MTU

commit 3de81b75 upstream.

Qian Zhang (张谦) reported a potential socket buffer overflow in
tipc_msg_build() which is also known as CVE-2016-8632: due to
insufficient checks, a buffer overflow can occur if MTU is too short for
even tipc headers. As anyone can set device MTU in a user/net namespace,
this issue can be abused by a regular user.

As agreed in the discussion on Ben Hutchings' original patch, we should
check the MTU at the moment a bearer is attached rather than for each
processed packet. We also need to repeat the check when bearer MTU is
adjusted to new device MTU. UDP case also needs a check to avoid
overflow when calculating bearer MTU.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
 - Adjust filename, context
 - Duplicate macro definitions in bearer.h to avoid mutual inclusion
 - NETDEV_CHANGEMTU and NETDEV_CHANGEADDR cases in net notifier were combined
 - Drop changes in udp_media.c]
