usb: gadget: ether: Allow changing the MTU
The gadget ethernet driver supports changing the MTU, but only allows this
when the USB cable is removed. The comment indicates that this is because
the "peer won't know". Even if the network link is still down and only the
USB link is established, the driver won't allow the change.
Other network interfaces allow changing the MTU any time, and don't force
the link to be disabled. This makes perfect sense, because in order to be
able to negotiate the MTU, the link needs to be up.
Remove the restriction so that it is now actually possible to change the
MTU (e.g. using "ifconfig usb0 mtu 15000") without having to manually pull
the plug or change the driver's default setting.
This is especially important after commit bba787a860fa
("usb: gadget: ether: Allow jumbo frames")
