Subject: vti6: Don't report path MTU below IPV6_MIN_MTU.

From: Steffen Klassert <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit e3dc847a5f85b43ee2bfc8eae407a7e383483228 ]

In vti6_xmit(), the check for IPV6_MIN_MTU before we send a ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG message is missing. So we might report a PMTU below 1280. Fix this by adding the required check.
