Subject: [PATCH] net/gianfar: drop recycled skbs on MTU change

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@...utronix.de>

The size for skb which is added to the recycled list is using the
current descriptor size which is current MTU. gfar_new_skb() is also
using this size. So after changing or alteast increasing the MTU all
recycled skbs should be dropped.

I'm not 100% sure but it looks like it is wrong.
