Subject: [PATCH v2 net] net/sched: make psched_mtu() RTNL-less safe

Eric Dumazet says[1]:
-------
Speaking of psched_mtu(), I see that net/sched/sch_pie.c is using it
without holding RTNL, so dev->mtu can be changed underneath.
KCSAN could issue a warning.
-------

Annotate dev->mtu with READ_ONCE() so KCSAN don't issue a warning.
