Subject: [PATCH 1/1] usb: cdc-ncm: Increase maximum allowed datagram size

Some NCM devices exist which will send datagrams larger than 2k and
don't support the GetMaxDatagramSize request, such as the Nokia 701
Mobile Telephone.

This sets the maximum limit of datagrams to the theoretical limit for
16-bit NTBs, preventing dropping of large datagrams received from some
devices.
