[net PATCH] octeontx2-pf: Reduce minimum mtu size to 60

From: Subbaraya Sundeep <sbhatta@xxxxxxxxxxx>

PTP messages like SYNC, FOLLOW_UP, DELAY_REQ are of size 58 bytes.
Using a minimum packet length as 64 makes NIX to pad 6 bytes of
zeroes while transmission. This is causing latest ptp4l application to
emit errors since length in PTP header and received packet are not same.
Padding upto 3 bytes is fine but more than that makes ptp4l to assume
the pad bytes as a TLV. Hence reduce the size to 60 from 64.
