Good point. I suppose renaming the function to e.g. tipc_mtu_bad() (and
rewording the commment accordingly) would also make the code more
readable without looking at the definition.

I'll wait for other comments and send v3 tomorrow.

I checked that the patch doesn't allow enabling a bearer on top of
device with insufficient MTU and it does for sufficient (100/128), both
in eth and udp case. I also checked that lowering MTU under 100 in eth
case disables attached bearer. I didn't run any deeper test like sending
an actual traffic but the patch shouldn't affect that.
