Subject: [PATCH] e1000e: disable rxhash when try to enable jumbo frame also
 rxhash and rxcsum have enabled

Upstream commit 70495a5 check if both rxhash and rxcsum enabled when enabling
jumbo frames and disallowed all of them enabled at the same time.

Since jumbo frame widely be used in real world, so when try to enable jumbo
frames but rxhash and rxcsum have enabled, change the default behavior to
disable receive hashing.
