[ Upstream commit cfddd4c33c254954927942599d299b3865743146 ]
ipgre tap driver calls ether_setup(), after commit 61e84623ace3 ("net: centralize net_device min/max MTU checking"), the range of mtu is [min_mtu, max_mtu], which is [68, 1500] by default.
It causes the dev mtu of the ipgre tap device to not be greater than 1500, this limit value is not correct for ipgre tap device.
Besides, it's .change_mtu already does the right check. So this patch is just to set max_mtu as 0, and leave the check to it's .change_mtu.
