ipv4: rate limit updating of next hop exceptions with same pmtu

fabled · davem330 · commit f016229e303c · 2013-06-03T00:07:43.000-07:00
The tunnel devices call update_pmtu for each packet sent, this causes
contention on the fnhe_lock. Ignore the pmtu update if pmtu is not
actually changed, and there is still plenty of time before the entry
expires.
