Alexey Kodanev 128bb975dc ip6_gre: init dev->mtu and dev->hard_header_len correctly
Commit b05229f442 ("gre6: Cleanup GREv6 transmit path,
call common GRE functions") moved dev->mtu initialization
from ip6gre_tunnel_setup() to ip6gre_tunnel_init(), as a
result, the previously set values, before ndo_init(), are
reset in the following cases:

* rtnl_create_link() can update dev->mtu from IFLA_MTU
  parameter.

* ip6gre_tnl_link_config() is invoked before ndo_init() in
  netlink and ioctl setup, so ndo_init() can reset MTU
  adjustments with the lower device MTU as well, dev->mtu
  and dev->hard_header_len.

  Not applicable for ip6gretap because it has one more call
  to ip6gre_tnl_link_config(tunnel, 1) in ip6gre_tap_init().

Fix the first case by updating dev->mtu with 'tb[IFLA_MTU]'
parameter if a user sets it manually on a device creation,
and fix the second one by moving ip6gre_tnl_link_config()
call after register_netdevice().
