Subject: [PATCH net] net: vlan: allow vlan device MTU change follow real device from smaller to bigger

vlan device MTU can only follow real device change from bigger to smaller
but from smaller to bigger under the premise of vlan device MTU not exceed
the real device MTU.

This issue can be seen using the following commands:

ip link add link eth1 dev eth1.100 type vlan id 100
ip link set eth1 mtu 256
ip link set eth1 mtu 1500
ip link show

Modify to allow vlan device follow real device MTU change from smaller
to bigger when user has not configured vlan device MTU which is not
equal to real device MTU. That also ensure user configuration has higher
priority.

Fixes: 2e477c9bd2bb ("vlan: Propagate physical MTU changes")
