Subject: Revert "ip6_vti: adjust vti mtu according to mtu of lower device"

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

This reverts commit 2fe832c678189d6b19b5ff282e7e70df79c1406b which is
commit 53c81e95df1793933f87748d36070a721f6cb287 upstream.

Ben writes that there are a number of follow-on patches needed to fix
this up, but they get complex to backport, and some custom fixes are
needed, so let's just revert this and wait for a "real" set of patches
to resolve this to be submitted if it is really needed.
