Subject: [patch 2.6.25-rc2-git] rndis_host:  fix transfer size negotiation

From: Jean-Christophe Dubois <jcd@...budubois.net>

This patch should resolve a problem that's troubled support for
some RNDIS peripherals.  It seems to have boiled down to using a
variable to establish transfer size limits before it was assigned,
which caused those devices to fallback to a default "jumbogram"
mode we don't support.  Fix by assigning it earlier for RNDIS.
