[PATCH net-next] net: ipv6: add IFLA_RA_MTU to expose mtu value in the RA message

The kernel provides a "/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<iface>/mtu"
file, which can temporarily record the mtu value of the last
received RA message when the RA mtu value is lower than the
interface mtu, but this proc has following limitations:
(1) when the interface mtu (/sys/class/net/<iface>/mtu) is
updeated, mtu6 (/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<iface>/mtu) will be
updated to the value of interface mtu;
(2) mtu6 (/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<iface>/mtu) only affect
ipv6 connection, and not affect ipv4.
Therefore, when the mtu option is carried in the RA message,
there will be a problem that the user sometimes cannot obtain
RA mtu value by reading mtu6.
After this patch set, if a RA message carries the mtu option,
you can use RTM_GETLINK to get the mtu value carried in the
RA message received on the interface.
In this way, If the MTU values that the device receives from the
network in the PCO IPv4 and the RA IPv6 procedures are different,
the user space process can read ra_mtu to get the mtu value carried
in the RA message without worrying about the issue of ipv4 being
stuck due to the late arrival of RA message. After comparing the
value of ra_mtu and ipv4 mtu, then the device can use the lower
MTU value for both IPv4 and IPv6.
