3.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Steffen Klassert <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 7f92d334ba19a0d8e96f8f8f092219553367d921 ] When a local tool like tracepath tries to send packets bigger than the device mtu, we create a nh exeption and set the pmtu to device mtu. The device mtu does not expire, so check if the device mtu is smaller than the reported pmtu and don't crerate a nh exeption in that case.
