URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/336195

Log:
  Make dhclient(8) verify if new MTU (option 26) differs from current one and
skip unneeded MTU change.
  This check eliminates infinite loop of MTU change / link flap / lease
verification / MTU change / link flap etc.
  in case of some NIC drivers like em(4) or igb(4).

  N.B.: obsolete u_int16_t is used in consistency with the rest of the file.
