[PATCH net v2 5/6] net: stmmac: size the RX buffers from the frame length, not the MTU

When picking the buffsize to use based on the MTU, we shouldn't check
only the MTU value, but also :
- ETH_HLEN for the L2 header,
- up to 2 VLAN tags,
- the FCS,
- the NET_IP_ALIGN
The default bufsize is 1536 bytes, which is enough to contain all the
above so this hasn't surfaced before, but the addition of NET_IP_ALIGN
to the start of buffer address tripped the Jumbo selftest, leading to
this discovery.
With that, we don't need the '>=' checks on the buffer len, we can use
more consistent comparison operators in stmmac_set_bfsize.
Fixes: 286a83721720 ("stmmac: add CHAINED descriptor mode support (V4)")
