Subject: batman-adv: Don't increase MTU when set by user

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit d8e42a2b0addf238be8b3b37dcd9795a5c1be459 upstream.

If the user set an MTU value, it usually means that there are special
requirements for the MTU. But if an interface gots activated, the MTU was
always recalculated and then the user set value was overwritten.

The only reason why this user set value has to be overwritten, is when the
MTU has to be decreased because batman-adv is not able to transfer packets
with the user specified size.
