The MTU check here is great. But I do not see support for 
.ndo_change_mtu. This would allow users to change MTU size AFTER the 
program is attached.
Good point. I had planned to add ndo_change_mtu in a follow-up series, 
but this leaves a gap where MTU can be changed while XDP is attached.

Options:
1. Add a minimal ndo_change_mtu to this series that only rejects MTU 
changes incompatible with XDP, default behavior otherwise
2. Reject any MTU change while XDP is attached
3. Defer to the ndo_change_mtu follow-up series

Thoughts?

Thanks
Nicolai
