Network : veth pair : fix mtu

The ip link set command which create the veth pair is not setting mtu on both peers

example:
vm 106 is on a bridge with mtu 9000

222: tap160i1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,PROMISC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 qdisc pfifo_fast master fwbr160i1 state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
223: fwbr160i1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
224: fwpr160p1@fwln160i1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
225: fwln160i1@fwpr160p1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000

fwpr160p1@fwln160i1 is correctly created with mtu 9000
but
fwln160i1@fwpr160p1 is created with mtu 1500.
(and then vmbr106i1 is lowered to 1500 too).

This is doing network problem, as tap160i1 is mtu9000.

After this patch:

222: tap160i1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,PROMISC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 qdisc pfifo_fast master fwbr160i1 state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
223: fwbr160i1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
224: fwpr160p1@fwln160i1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
225: fwln160i1@fwpr160p1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
