Subject: [PATCH net-next] vxlan: fix incorrect nlattr access in MTU check

The access to the wrong variable could lead to a NULL dereference and
possibly other invalid memory reads in vxlan newlink/changelink requests
with a IFLA_MTU attribute.

Fixes: a985343ba906 "vxlan: refactor verification and application of configuration"
