LTP/udp6_ipsec_vti tests fail when sending large UDP datagrams
that require fragmentation and underlying device MTU <= 1500.
This happens because ip6_vti sets mtu to ETH_DATA_LEN and not
updating it depending on a destiantion address.

Futhure attempts to send UDP packets may succeed because pmtu
get updated on ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG in vti6_err().

Here is the example when output device MTU set to 9000:

  # ip a sh ltp_ns_veth2
    ltp_ns_veth2@if7: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 ...
      inet 10.0.0.2/24 scope global ltp_ns_veth2
      inet6 fd00::2/64 scope global
      ...
  # ip li add vti6 type vti6 local fd00::2 remote fd00::1
  # ip li show vti6
    vti6@NONE: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP> mtu 1500 ...
      link/tunnel6 fd00::2 peer fd00::1

After the patch:

  # ip li add vti6 type vti6 local fd00::2 remote fd00::1
  # ip li show vti6
    vti6@NONE: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP> mtu 8832 ...
      link/tunnel6 fd00::2 peer fd00::1

Regarding ip_vti, it already tunes mtu with ip_tunnel_bind_dev():

  # ip li add vti4 type vti local 10.0.0.2 remote 10.0.0.1
  # ip li sh vti4
    vti4@NONE: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP> mtu 8832 ...
      link/ipip 10.0.0.2 peer 10.0.0.1

ip6_vti mtu offset is the same (168) as in ip_vti because ip_vti
offset includes two sizes of struct iphdr: in dev->hard_header_len
and in t_hlen in ip_tunnel_bind_dev(). I'm not sure if it's correct.
