When the mtu of a vrf device is set to 0, it would cause ping
failed.So I think we should limit dev->min_mtu to ETH_MIN_MTU
to solve this problem. And if dev->max_mtu still be 0 can be
confusing, so I limit dev->max_mtu to ETH_MAX_MTU.

Here is the reproduce step:

1.Config vrf interface and set mtu to 0:
# ip link show vrf vrf1
3: enp4s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel
master vrf1 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 52:54:00:9e:dd:c1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
# ip link set vrf1 mtu 0

2.Ping peer:
# ip addr show enp4s0
3: enp4s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel
master vrf1 state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 52:54:00:9e:dd:c1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.0.0.1/16 scope global enp4s0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
# ip vrf exec vrf1 ping 10.0.0.2 -c 1
connect: Network is unreachable

3.Set mtu to default value, ping works:
# ip link set vrf1 mtu 65536
# ip vrf exec vrf1 ping 10.0.0.2 -c 1
PING 10.0.0.2 (10.0.0.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.0.0.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.88 ms
