7.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Laurent Vivier <[email protected]>

commit 1505b2cb6ae1c7e8ac0c6e4590a204ffc3ab2b24 upstream.

usbnet_probe() initializes max_mtu to ETH_MAX_MTU and only caps it
inside the if (info->bind) block. Drivers without a bind callback
never enter this block, so max_mtu stays at ETH_MAX_MTU.

QEMU's usb-net device (0x0525/0xa4a2) is claimed by the cdc_subset
driver which has no bind callback. The guest accepts any MTU from DHCP
(e.g. 65520 from passt), leading to TCP segments that exceed the
device's 2048-byte receive buffer and are silently dropped.

Initialize max_mtu to net->mtu at probe time and update it inside
the bind block.

Fixes: f77f0aee4da4 ("net: use core MTU range checking in USB NIC drivers")
