geneve: Relax MTU constraints
Allow the MTU of geneve devices to be set to large values, in order to
exploit underlying networks with larger frame sizes.
GENEVE does not have a fixed encapsulation overhead (an openvswitch
rule can add variable length options), so there is no relevant maximum
MTU to enforce. A maximum of IP_MAX_MTU is used instead.
Encapsulated packets that are too big for the underlying network will
get dropped on the floor.
