The RX length sanity check compares the length reported in the RX
header against BGMAC_RX_ALLOC_SIZE. That is the size of the whole
fragment, including the space reserved for struct skb_shared_info.
The data area handed to the hardware is only BGMAC_RX_BUF_SIZE bytes,
and the frame starts BGMAC_RX_FRAME_OFFSET bytes into it, so a valid
frame is at most BGMAC_RX_MAX_FRAME_SIZE bytes long.

A corrupted length between those two limits passes the check, and the
following skb_put() runs past the skb tailroom and calls
skb_over_panic() instead of dropping the frame.

Compare against BGMAC_RX_MAX_FRAME_SIZE instead.

Only compile tested. Not tested on hardware.
