Some NICs might have limited capabilities when Jumbo frames are used.
For exampe some neta interfaces only support TX csum offload when the
packet size is lower than a value specified in DT.
Fix it by re-reading capabilities of children interfaces after MTU
has been successfully changed.

I would perhaps leave out the comments (they aren't present in the lines above for SIOCSIFCAP) and adding the blank lines before them to conform to style(9) would make this a bit long.
