[PATCH] net: usb: allow MTU that is a multiple of USB packet size

[Ruslan Bilovol <ruslan.bilovol@gmail.com>]

Current usbnet driver rejects setting MTU that is a multiple
of USB endpoint's wMaxPacketSize size. However, it may only
lead to possible performance degradation but is not so
critical that its using should be prohibited. So allow it
but also warn user about possible issue.
