[PATCH] usbnet.c, buf.overrun crash-bugfix, Kernel 2.6.12-rc1

[Jakemuksen spammiosote <jhroska@byterapers.com>]

Atleast versions 2.6.5 - 2.6.12-rc1 crash if an USB device using usbnet 
sends oversized packet. Such packets occur most likely with broken
device. Here's a patch that throws away such packet, to keep the machine
from crashing. Hopefully this doesn't leave memory unreleased. If it does, 
it's still better than crashing as such oversized packets are really rare.
