bcm47xx: revert bgmac back to the old limited max frame size

Bumping max frame size has significantly affected network performance
and memory usage. It was done by upstream commit that first appeared in
the 5.7 release.

Allocating 512 (BGMAC_RX_RING_SLOTS) buffers, 10 k each, is clearly a
bad idea on 32 MiB devices. This commit fixes support for Linksys E1000
V2.1 which gives up after allocating ~346 such buffers running 5.15
kernel.

Subject: [PATCH] bgmac: reduce max frame size to support just MTU 1500
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
bgmac allocates new replacement buffer before handling each received
frame. Allocating & DMA-preparing 9724 B each time consumes a lot of CPU
time. Ideally bgmac should just respect currently set MTU but it isn't
the case right now. For now just revert back to the old limited frame
size.
This change bumps NAT masquarade speed by ~95%.
