Subject: [PATCH v2 net] ixgbe: allow to increase MTU to some extent with XDP enabled

From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@...cent.com>

I encountered one case where I cannot increase the MTU size directly
from 1500 to 2000 with XDP enabled if the server is equipped with
IXGBE card, which happened on thousands of servers in production
environment.

This patch follows the behavior of changing MTU as i40e/ice does.

Referrences:
commit 23b44513c3e6f ("ice: allow 3k MTU for XDP")
commit 0c8493d90b6bb ("i40e: add XDP support for pass and drop actions")

v2:
1) change the commit message.
2) modify the logic when changing MTU size suggested by Maciej and Alexander.
