Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 253/268] net: cdc_ncm: avoid changing RX/TX buffers on MTU changes

4.2.8-ckt3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 1dfddff5fcd869fcab0c52fafae099dfa435a935 ]

NCM buffer sizes are negotiated with the device independently of
the network device MTU.  The RX buffers are allocated by the
usbnet framework based on the rx_urb_size value set by cdc_ncm. A
single RX buffer can hold a number of MTU sized packets.

The default usbnet change_mtu ndo only modifies rx_urb_size if it
is equal to hard_mtu.  And the cdc_ncm driver will set rx_urb_size
and hard_mtu independently of each other, based on dwNtbInMaxSize
and dwNtbOutMaxSize respectively. It was therefore assumed that
usbnet_change_mtu() would never touch rx_urb_size.  This failed to
consider the case where dwNtbInMaxSize and dwNtbOutMaxSize happens
to be equal.

Fix by implementing an NCM specific change_mtu ndo, modifying the
netdev MTU without touching the buffer size settings.
