I was also experimenting with this and I think it may also make sense to
add napi_disable() for all queues here.

It also seems that the usual TX disable pattern is 

    netif_tx_stop_all_queues(net);
    netif_tx_disable(net);

not sure why..

Shall we just nove netif_tx_disable() & friends to rndis_filter_close()?

Yea, the main problem here is that we can't do much if we fail, the
device will be completely unusable. That's not something users exepct
doing MTU change...

I'll give this patch a shot to see if anything blows up. Thanks!
