Alright, so changing the team's mtu is now allowed but changing
port's mtu isn't allowed.
LGTM.

Since there are some common code between the unwide and the
successful code paths, I'd suggest to simply use:
...
	list_for_each_entry() {
		err = 
		if (err)
			break
	}

	if (err) {
		unwind
	}
	else
		dev->mtu = new_mtu;

	<common code>

But I suspect that due to the long function name, any
additional indentation there will cause the code to look
less readable.
