Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 44/54] gtp: clear DF bit on GTP packet tx

From: Andreas Schultz <aschultz@...p.net>

[ Upstream commit c6ce1d08eede4c2968ed08aafa3165e8e183c5a1 ]

3GPP TS 29.281 and 3GPP TS 29.060 imply that GTP-U packets should be
sent with the DF bit cleared. For example 3GPP TS 29.060, Release 8,
Section 13.2.2:

> Backbone router: Any router in the backbone may fragment the GTP
> packet if needed, according to IPv4.
