[PATCH] ip6erspan: remove the incorrect mtu limit for ip6erspan

From: Haishuang Yan
Date: Tue Oct 08 2019 - 05:56:47 EST


ip6erspan driver calls ether_setup(), after commit 61e84623ace3
("net: centralize net_device min/max MTU checking"), the range
of mtu is [min_mtu, max_mtu], which is [68, 1500] by default.

It causes the dev mtu of the erspan device to not be greater
than 1500, this limit value is not correct for ip6erspan tap
device.
