Revert "ipv6: add mtu lock check in __ip6_rt_update_pmtu"

Browse Source 
[ Upstream commit 09454fd0a4ce23cb3d8af65066c91a1bf27120dd ]

This reverts commit 19bda36c4299ce3d7e5bce10bebe01764a655a6d:

| ipv6: add mtu lock check in __ip6_rt_update_pmtu
|
| Prior to this patch, ipv6 didn't do mtu lock check in ip6_update_pmtu.
| It leaded to that mtu lock doesn't really work when receiving the pkt
| of ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG.
|
| This patch is to add mtu lock check in __ip6_rt_update_pmtu just as ipv4
| did in __ip_rt_update_pmtu.

The above reasoning is incorrect.  IPv6 *requires* icmp based pmtu to work.
There's already a comment to this effect elsewhere in the kernel:

  $ git grep -p -B1 -A3 'RTAX_MTU lock'
  net/ipv6/route.c=4813=

  static int rt6_mtu_change_route(struct fib6_info *f6i, void *p_arg)
  ...
    /* In IPv6 pmtu discovery is not optional,
       so that RTAX_MTU lock cannot disable it.
       We still use this lock to block changes
       caused by addrconf/ndisc.
    */

This reverts to the pre-4.9 behaviour.
