[PATCH] net: ucc_geth - fix Oops when changing number of buffers in the ring

[Christophe Leroy]

When changing the number of buffers in the RX ring while the interface
is running, the following Oops is encountered due to the new number
of buffers being taken into account immediately while their allocation
is done when opening the device only.
