vxlan: Relax MTU constraints
[ Upstream commit 72564b59 ] Allow the MTU of vxlan devices without an underlying device to be set to larger values (up to a maximum based on IP packet limits and vxlan overhead). Previously, their MTUs could not be set to higher than the conventional ethernet value of 1500. This is a very arbitrary value in the context of vxlan, and prevented vxlan devices from being able to take advantage of jumbo frames etc. The default MTU remains 1500, for compatibility.
