[net-2.6 PATCH 08/13] e1000: remove races when changing mtu

[Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>]

From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com>

this patch fixes a bug that occurs when routing packets and simultaneously
changing the mtu.  the rx_buffer_len variable is used during the rx cleanup
and if that changes on the fly without stopping traffic bad things happen
