Petr Machata f6cc9c054e ip_tunnel: Emit events for post-register MTU changes 
For tunnels created with IFLA_MTU, MTU of the netdevice is set by
rtnl_create_link() (called from rtnl_newlink()) before the device is
registered. However without IFLA_MTU that's not done.

rtnl_newlink() proceeds by calling struct rtnl_link_ops.newlink, which
via ip_tunnel_newlink() calls register_netdevice(), and that emits
NETDEV_REGISTER. Thus any listeners that inspect the netdevice get the
MTU of 0.

After ip_tunnel_newlink() corrects the MTU after registering the
netdevice, but since there's no event, the listeners don't get to know
about the MTU until something else happens--such as a NETDEV_UP event.
That's not ideal.

So instead of setting the MTU directly, go through dev_set_mtu(), which
takes care of distributing the necessary NETDEV_PRECHANGEMTU and
NETDEV_CHANGEMTU events.
