ip6_gre: process toobig in a better way
Now ip6gre processes toobig icmp packet by setting gre dev's mtu in ip6gre_err, which would cause few things not good: - It couldn't set mtu with dev_set_mtu due to it's not in user context, which causes route cache and idev->cnf.mtu6 not to be updated. - It has to update sk dst pmtu in tx path according to gredev->mtu for ip6gre, while it updates pmtu again according to lower dst pmtu in ip6_tnl_xmit. - To change dev->mtu by toobig icmp packet is not a good idea, it should only work on pmtu. This patch is to process toobig by updating the lower dst's pmtu, as later sk dst pmtu will be updated in ip6_tnl_xmit, the same way as in ip4gre. Note that gre dev's mtu will not be updated any more, it doesn't make any sense to change dev's mtu after receiving a toobig packet.
