[ Upstream commit 6e9105c73f8d2163d12d5dfd762fd75483ed30f5 ]

When do IPv6 tunnel PMTU update and calls __ip6_rt_update_pmtu() in the end,
we should not call dst_confirm_neigh() as there is no two-way communication.

Although GTP only support ipv4 right now, and __ip_rt_update_pmtu() does not
call dst_confirm_neigh(), we still set it to false to keep consistency with
IPv6 code.

v5: No change.
v4: No change.
v3: Do not remove dst_confirm_neigh, but add a new bool parameter in
dst_ops.update_pmtu to control whether we should do neighbor confirm.
Also split the big patch to small ones for each area.
v2: Remove dst_confirm_neigh in __ip6_rt_update_pmtu.
