This patch checks the feature bit for the VIRTIO_NET_F_MTU feature. If it
exists, read the advised MTU and use it.
No proper error handling is provided for the case where a user changes the
negotiated MTU. A future commit will add proper error handling. Instead, a
warning is emitted if the guest changes the device MTU after previously
being given advice.

* Whitespace cleanup in the last hunk
* Code style change around the pr_warn
* Additional test for mtu change before printing warning
