Subject: [PATCH v2] net/gianfar: drop recycled skbs on MTU change

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@...utronix.de>

The size for skbs which is added to the recycled list is using the
current descriptor size which is current MTU. gfar_new_skb() is also
using this size. So after changing or alteast increasing the MTU all
recycled skbs should be dropped.

This has the side effect of dropping them on reset which is not
required.
