It will be run if the mtu_set_by_user is set to "false".

dev_set_mtu() calls ndo_change_mtu() which makes mtu_set_by_user = true but
that is
not really _true_ since this is an automatic MTU adjustment so we need to
revert the
value to false so the automatic adjustment will continue to work.
But if you go ahead and set the MTU yourself manually, then mtu_set_by_user
will be
equal to true and will stay that way, thus disabling the auto adjust behaviour.
This is used to differentiate when auto adjust is used and when user has set
the MTU.
As I already said everything is working as expected and you should not remove
this code.

But after this comment, mtu_set_by_user is set to true, and br_mtu_auto_adjust
will not truly be run, how to set mtu_set_by_user to false?
230 /* this flag will be cleared if the MTU was automatically adjusted */
231 br->mtu_set_by_user = true;
And the line 457 is useless, since it run only if it is false?
445 void br_mtu_auto_adjust(struct net_bridge *br)
446 {
447 ASSERT_RTNL();
448
449 /* if the bridge MTU was manually configured don't mess with it */
450 if (br->mtu_set_by_user)
451 return;
452
453 /* change to the minimum MTU and clear the flag which was set by
454 * the bridge ndo_change_mtu callback
455 */
456 dev_set_mtu(br->dev, br_mtu_min(br));
457 br->mtu_set_by_user = false;
458 }

This was by design, there is no error here and no "cleanup" is needed.
If you read the ndo_change_mtu() call you'll see the comment:
/* this flag will be cleared if the MTU was automatically adjusted */
It is the only way we can know that the MTU was automatically adjusted or set
by the user manually in which case we need to _stop_ automatically adjusting
MTU. This was done to be backwards compatible as much as possible but still
give the option to have user-configured MTU which doesn't disappear (and is
not overwritten).
So please next time read the original commit.
>From the original commit 804b854d374e ("net: bridge: disable bridge MTU auto
>tuning if it was set manually"):
" ...
Let's improve on that situation and allow for the user to
set any MTU within ETH_MIN/MAX limits, but once manually configured it
is the user's responsibility to keep it correct afterwards.
In case the MTU isn't manually set - the behaviour reverts to the
previous and the bridge follows the minimum MTU.
