[PATCH net v2 3/4] net: ethernet: cortina: Protect against oversized frames

The max size of a transfer no matter the MTU is 64KB-1 so immediately
bail out if the skb exceeds that.

The calling site tries to linearize the skbuff on error so return a
special error code -E2BIG to indicate that this will not work in
any way and bail out immediately if this happens.
