qmi_wwan: allow max_mtu above hard_mtu to control rx_urb_size

commit 55f854dd5bdd8e19b936a00ef1f8d776ac32c7b0 upstream.

Commit c7159e960f14 ("usbnet: limit max_mtu based on device's hard_mtu")
capped net->max_mtu to the device's hard_mtu in usbnet_probe(). While
this correctly prevents oversized packets on standard USB network
devices, it breaks the qmi_wwan driver.

qmi_wwan relies on userspace (e.g. ModemManager) setting a large MTU on
the wwan0 interface to configure rx_urb_size via usbnet_change_mtu().
QMI modems negotiate USB transfer sizes of 16,383 or 32,767 bytes, and
the USB receive buffers must be sized accordingly. With max_mtu capped
to hard_mtu (~1500 bytes), userspace can no longer raise the MTU, the
receive buffers remain small, and download speeds drop from >300 Mbps
to ~0.8 Mbps.

Introduce a FLAG_NOMAXMTU driver flag that allows individual usbnet
drivers to opt out of the max_mtu cap. Set this flag in qmi_wwan's
driver_info structures to restore the previous behavior for QMI devices,
while keeping the safety fix in place for all other usbnet drivers.
