According to rte_ethdev.h, only 4 return codes are supported for
rte_eth_dev_set_mtu:

* - (0) if successful.
* - (-ENOTSUP) if operation is not supported.
* - (-ENODEV) if *port_id* invalid.
* - (-EINVAL) if *mtu* invalid.

EBUSY should not be returned.

Why do want to reconfigure rxq here ? All these operations are already
done when you call i40e_dev_rx_init.
i40e_dev_rx_init => i40e_rx_queue_init (for each queue) =>
i40e_rx_queue_config => redefine rxq->max_pkt_len

Moreover, you should move dev_data->dev_conf.rxmode.max_rx_pkt_len out
of the loop. frame_size is the same for all rx_queues.
