Subject: [PATCH 3.8 059/121] tg3: update rx_jumbo_pending ring param only when jumbo frames are enabled

3.8.13.24 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ivan Vecera <ivecera@...hat.com>

commit ba67b510035141bd89b40bf65efa0a79834311ca upstream.

The patch fixes a problem with dropped jumbo frames after usage of
'ethtool -G ... rx'.

Scenario:
1. ip link set eth0 up
2. ethtool -G eth0 rx N # <- This zeroes rx-jumbo
3. ip link set mtu 9000 dev eth0

The ethtool command set rx_jumbo_pending to zero so any received jumbo
packets are dropped and you need to use 'ethtool -G eth0 rx-jumbo N'
to workaround the issue.
The patch changes the logic so rx_jumbo_pending value is changed only if
jumbo frames are enabled (MTU > 1500).
