Subject: [v1 PATCH] ucc_geth: fix ethtool set ring param bug
It's common sense that when we should do change to driver ring
desc/buffer etc only after 'stop/shutdown' the device. When we
do change while devices/driver is running, kernel oops occur:
[
root@..._8569mds:/root> ethtool -G eth0 tx 256
root@..._8569mds:/root> Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]

Then the natural solution would be 'stop driver/device then adjust
ring buffer parameter then reactivate driver/device'.
v1: add roll back branch for 'auto reopen fail' statement
