[RFC PATCH net 3/3] virtio-net: block ethtool from converting a ring to a small ring

[Alvaro Karsz <alvaro.karsz@solid-run.com>]

Stop ethtool from resizing a TX/RX ring to size less than
MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2, if the ring was initialized with a bigger size.

We cannot convert a "normal" ring to a "small" ring in runtime.
