Subject: [PATCH 4/7] batman-adv: Check hardif MTU against runtime MTU

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@...fation.org>

If the MTU of the soft/mesh interface was already reduced (enough), it is
not necessary to print a warning about a hard interface not having a MTU to
transport ethernet payloads of 1500 bytes.
