[pve-devel] [PATCH common] fix #4547: set MTU on dynamically created vlan bridges

[Dominik Csapak]

Otherwise the created vlan bridge has the default MTU, which is
unexpected when the original bridge has some other MTU configured.

We already do this for the firewall bridges, so we should do so too for
the vlan bridges.

technically this is a breaking change i think, since someone might
depend on the fact that the vlan bridges always have the default mtu,
but there is no way to configure that besides from manually modifying
the /etc/network/interfaces file, so not completely sure
if we want to do that now, or with the next major release
