iavf: fix netdev->max_mtu to respect actual hardware limit

Browse source

[ Upstream commit b848521701 ]

iavf sets LIBIE_MAX_MTU as netdev->max_mtu, ignoring vf_res->max_mtu
from PF [1]. This allows setting an MTU beyond the actual hardware
limit, causing TX queue timeouts [2].

Set correct netdev->max_mtu using vf_res->max_mtu from the PF.

Note that currently PF drivers such as ice/i40e set the frame size in
vf_res->max_mtu, not MTU. Convert vf_res->max_mtu to MTU before setting
netdev->max_mtu.
