    Commit 085e1a65 ("rtnetlink: Do not generate notifications for MTU
    events") tried to fix the redundant notifications issue when ip link
    set mtu by removing NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event process in rtnetlink_event.
    
    But it also resulted in no notification generated when dev's mtu is
    changed via other methods, like:
      'ifconfig eth1 mtu 1400' or 'echo 1400 > /sys/class/net/eth1/mtu'
    It would cause users not to be notified by this change.
    
    This patch is to fix it by bringing NETDEV_CHANGEMTU event back into
    rtnetlink_event, and the redundant notifications issue will be fixed
    in the later patch 'rtnetlink: check DO_SETLINK_NOTIFY correctly in
    do_setlink'.
