Server only device cannot start Exchange MTU procedure. But since BlueZ cannot
be configured this way that is not a case.

Yes, MTU is symmetric and this is not a discussion point.
Bottom line here is like this:

1. Current BlueZ acts correctly in MTU exchange context
2. We try to workaround for not correctly working Android 4.4 which
has issue with BlueZ sending Exchange MTU request
3. role on the link is not relevant. There can be devices being
Peripheral/Clienr or Central/Server. Central/Server will never send
Exchange MTU Request and if BlueZ rely on the role on the link we will
operate on Default MTU even though we can do better.
