Change the way cdc_ncm_change_mtu hooks into the netdev_ops
structure so that changes into usbnet driver_info operations
can be respected. Without this, is was not possible to hook
into usbnet_set_rx_mode.

Please export usbnet_set_rx_mode instead, so that cdc_ncm_netdev_ops
can be kept const.

I don't see how this would help. From my point of view, the problem is
that cdc_ncm driver should not be setting net_device_ops in the first
place, as that is usbnet.c job. Sadly there seems to be no way currently
for cdc_ncm to be notified of mtu changes. This was the least intrusive
way I could think of to respect usbnet's net_device_ops structure while
keeping cdc_ncm notified of mtu changes. Without this change,
set_rx_mode was not getting called for cdc_ncm even after modifying
struct driver_info.
