Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 3/8] net: cdc_ncm: inform usbnet when rx buffers are reduced

It doesn't matter whether the buffer size goes up or down.  We have to
keep usbnet and device syncronized to be able to split transfers at the
correct boundaries. The spec allow skipping short packets when using
max sized transfers.  If we don't tell usbnet about our new expected rx
buffer size, then it will merge and/or split NTBs.  The driver does not
support this, and the result will be lots of framing errors.

Fix by always reallocating usbnet rx buffers when the rx_max value
changes.
