Re: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH] e1000e:Fix incorrect assumption that the function e1000e_up always runs successfully in e1000_change_mtu

This fixes the function e1000_change_mtu to properly check and run
the error code by e1000e_up as this function can fail and the error
code should be returned to the caller of the function e1000_change_mtu
to signal a error has occurred when calling this particular function
The function e1000e_up always returns 0.  It should probably be switched 
to a void instead of an int.  You could probably go through and drop a 
bunch of dead code that is checking for the result of that function as well.
