Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/3] ipv4: rate limit updating of next hop exceptions with same pmtu

The tunnel devices call update_pmtu for each packet sent, this causes
contention on the fnhe_lock. Ignore the pmtu update if pmtu is not
actually changed, and there is still plenty of time before the entry
expires.
