5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Sven Eckelmann sven@narfation.org
commit c6a953cce8d0438391e6da48c8d0793d3fbfcfa6 upstream.
If an interface changes the MTU, it is expected that an NETDEV_PRECHANGEMTU and NETDEV_CHANGEMTU notification events is triggered. This worked fine for .ndo_change_mtu based changes because core networking code took care of it. But for auto-adjustments after hard-interfaces changes, these events were simply missing.
Due to this problem, non-batman-adv components weren't aware of MTU changes and thus couldn't perform their own tasks correctly.
