gianfar: Fix oversized packets handling

Issuing the following command on host:

$ ifconfig eth2 mtu 1600 ; ping 10.0.0.27 -s 1485 -c 1

Makes some boards (tested with MPC8315 rev 1.1 and MPC8313 rev 1.0)
oops like this:

  skb_over_panic: text:c0195914 len:1537 put:1537 head:c79e4800 data:c79e4880 tail:0xc79e4e81 end:0xc79e4e80 dev:eth1

Dumped buffer descriptors showed that eTSEC's length/truncation
logic sometimes passes oversized packets, i.e. for the above ICMP
packet the following two buffer descriptors may become ready:

  status=1400 length=1536
  status=1800 length=1541

So, it seems that gianfar actually receives the whole big frame,
and it tries to place the packet into two BDs. This situation
confuses the driver, and so the skb_put() sanity check fails.

This patch fixes the issue by adding an appropriate check, i.e.
the driver should not try to process frames with buffer
descriptor's length over rx_buffer_size (i.e. maxfrm and mrblr).

Note that sometimes eTSEC works correctly, i.e. in the second
(last) buffer descriptor bits 'truncated' and 'crcerr' are set,
and so there's no oops. Though I couldn't find any logic when
it works correctly and when not.
