The mode argument was erronusly defined as u32 but it has always
been u16.

This patch is changing more than this.

Specifically it is invoking ipvlan_set_port_mode() instead of assigning
port->mode directly in ipvlan_link_new().

That minimally needs to be documented in the commit log message.

But I also wonder if for some reason in this conect the direct
assignment happens to be fine.  That's pretty much why you should
explain things.
