stmmac: limit max_mtu in case of 4KiB and use __netdev_alloc_skb (V2)

Problem using big mtu around 4096 bytes is you end allocating (4096
+NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN + sizeof(struct skb_shared_info) bytes ->
8192 bytes : order-1 pages

It's better to limit the mtu to SKB_MAX_HEAD(NET_SKB_PAD),
to have no more than one page per skb.

Also the patch changes the netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() done in
init_dma_desc_rings() and uses a variant allowing GFP_KERNEL allocations
allowing the driver to load even in case of memory pressure.
