e1000e: fix IPMI traffic
Some users reported that they have machines with BMCs enabled that cannot
receive IPMI traffic after e1000e is loaded.

This fixes the issue if they load with the new parameter = 0 by disabling
crc stripping, but leaves the performance feature on for most users.
Based on work done by Hong Zhang.
