[PATCH] drivers: net: axienet: safely drop oversized RX frames

From: Can Ayberk DEMIR <ayberkdemir at gmail.com>

In AXI Ethernet (axienet) driver, receiving an Ethernet frame larger
than the allocated skb buffer may cause memory corruption or kernel panic,
especially when the interface MTU is small and a jumbo frame is received.
