Under this setup when I do "ping B -l 2000" from A, the fragmented
packets will be dropped by bridge.
When the "/proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-iptables" is on, bridge
will do defragment at PREROUTING and re-fragment at POSTROUTING. At
the re-fragment bridge will check if the max frag size is larger than
the bridge's MTU in  br_nf_ip_fragment(), if it is true packets will
be dropped.
And this patch use the outdev's MTU instead of the bridge's MTU to do
the br_nf_ip_fragment.
