Thanks , I will remove the unlikely from the conditionally statement.
Below is the complete patch :

Virtio interfaces should also support setting of mtu, as in case of cloud
it is expected to have the consistent mtu across the infrastructure that
the dhcp server sends and not hardcoded to 1500(default).

This looks good, but you really don't need likely/unlikely in this code.
It is not at all performance critical.
