net/usb: Ethernet quirks for the LG-VL600 4G modem

This adds a driver for the CDC Ethernet part of this modem.  The
device's ID is blacklisted in cdc_ether.c and is white-listed in
this new driver because of the quirks needed to make it useful.
The modem's firmware exposes a CDC ACM port for modem control and a
CDC Ethernet port for network data.  The descriptors look fine but
both ports actually are some sort of multiplexers requiring non-
standard headers added/removed from every packet or they get
ignored.  All information is based on a usb traffic log from a
Windows machine.

On the Verizon 4G network I've seen speeds up to 1.1MB/s so far with
this driver, a speed-o-meter site reports 16.2Mbps/10.5Mbps.
Userspace scripts are required to talk to the CDC ACM port.
