uml: network driver MTU cleanups
A bunch of MTU-related cleanups in the network code.
First, there is the addition of the notion of a maximally-sized packet, which
is the MTU plus headers. This is used to size the skb that will receive a
packet. This allows ether_adjust_skb to go away, as it was used to resize the
skb after it was allocated.
Since the skb passed into the low-level read routine is no longer resized, and
possibly reallocated, there, they (and the write routines) don't need to get
an sk_buff **. They just need the sk_buff * now. The callers of
ether_adjust_skb still need to do the skb_put, so that's now inlined.
The MAX_PACKET definitions in most of the drivers are gone.
The set_mtu methods were all the same and did nothing, so they can be
removed.
The ethertap driver had a typo which doubled the size of the packet rather
than adding two bytes to it. It also wasn't defining its setup_size, causing
a zero-byte kmalloc and crash when the invalid pointer returned from kmalloc
was dereferenced.
