ethernet/atheros/alx: sanitize buffer sizing and padding

Browse Source 
This is based on the work done by Przemek Rudy in bug 70761 at
bugzilla.kernel.org, but with some work done to disentagle and clarify
things a bit.

Similar to Przemek's work and other drivers, we're adding a padding of 16
here, but we're also disentangling mtu size calculations from max buffer
size calculations a bit, and adding ETH_HLEN to the value written into
ALX_MTU. Hopefully, with a bit more consistency and clarity, things behave
better here. Sadly, I can only test in my alx-driven E2200, which worked
just fine before this patch.

In comment #58 of bug 70761, Eugene A. Shatokhin reports that this patch
does help considerably for a ROSA Linux user of his with an AR8162 network
adapter when patched into a 4.1.x-based kernel, with several days of
normal operation where wired network previously wasn't usable without
setting MTU to 9000 as a work-around.
