[PATCH 5.4 36/45] vmxnet3: update MTU after device quiesce

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

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

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

From: Ronak Doshi <ronak.doshi@broadcom.com>

[ Upstream commit 43f0999af011fba646e015f0bb08b6c3002a0170 ]

Currently, when device mtu is updated, vmxnet3 updates netdev mtu, quiesces
the device and then reactivates it for the ESXi to know about the new mtu.
So, technically the OS stack can start using the new mtu before ESXi knows
about the new mtu.

This can lead to issues for TSO packets which use mss as per the new mtu
configured. This patch fixes this issue by moving the mtu write after
device quiesce.
