[ewg] [PATCH] Subject: [PATCH] IB/IPoIB: Fix change of mtu to use kernel API

[Eli Cohen]

When the driver sets the MTU of the net device, it should make use of
dev_set_mtu() instead of directly setting the mtu field of struct
netdevice. Failure to do so will result in functions registered to be
called upon MTU change will not get called (this is done through
call_netdevice_notifiers()).
We have seen problems with performance degredation upon changing the
MTU with ofed which has a patch to set the MTU when changing to CM
mode to its maximum allowed value. Using dev_set_mtu() solved that
problem.
