When reopening device fails after MTU change, let the userspace
know. MTU remains changed even though error is returned, this
is what all ethernet devices are doing.

Dave,
I know this is not what you asked for but, since we are using FW
commands to disable/enable RX, even if we allocate all required
resources before freeing old ones we still cannot guarantee that
the reenabling operation will not fail. Should we refuse to do
MTU changes while the interface is running altogether?
