Subject: [PATCH 4.5 016/101] net/mlx5e: Fix minimum MTU

4.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@...lanox.com>

[ Upstream commit d8edd2469ace550db707798180d1c84d81f93bca ]

Minimum MTU that can be set in Connectx4 device is 68.

This fixes the case where a user wants to set invalid MTU,
the driver will fail to satisfy this request and the interface
will stay down.

It is better to report an error and continue working with old
mtu.
