Subject: [PATCH 3.18 052/105] net: mvneta: fix mtu change on port without link

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

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

From: Yelena Krivosheev <yelena@...vell.com>

[ Upstream commit 8466baf788ec3e18836bd9c91ba0b1a07af25878 ]

It is incorrect to enable TX/RX queues (call by mvneta_port_up()) for
port without link. Indeed MTU change for interface without link causes TX
queues to stuck.
