usb: gadget: ether: Allow jumbo frames

Browse Source 
USB network adapters support Jumbo frames. The only thing blocking
that feature is the code in the gadget driver that disposes of
packets larger than 1518 bytes, and the limit on the ioctl to set
the mtu.

This patch relaxes these limits, and allows up to 15k frames sizes.
The 15k value was chosen because 16k does not work on all platforms,
and usingclose to 16k will result in allocating 5 or 8 4k pages to
store the skb, wasting pages at no measurable performance gain.

On a topic-miami board (Zynq-7000), iperf3 performance reports:
MTU= 1500, PC-to-gadget: 139 Mbps, Gadget-to-PC: 116 Mbps
MTU=15000, PC-to-gadget: 239 Mbps, Gadget-to-PC: 361 Mbps

On boards with slower CPUs the performance improvement will be
relatively much larger, e.g. an OMAP-L138 increased from 40 to
220 Mbps using a similar patch on an  2.6.37 kernel.
