Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] hv_netvsc: Fix the receive buffer size limit

From: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@...rosoft.com>

The max should be 31 MB on host with NVSP version > 2.

On legacy hosts (NVSP version <=2) only 15 MB receive buffer is allowed,
otherwise the buffer request will be rejected by the host, resulting
vNIC not coming up.

The NVSP version is only available after negotiation. So, we add the
limit checking for legacy hosts in netvsc_init_buf().

Fixes: 5023a6db73196 ("netvsc: increase default receive buffer size")
