e1000: add dummy allocator to fix race condition between mtu change and netpoll

commit 08e8331654d1d7b2c58045e549005bc356aa7810 upstream.

There is a race condition between e1000_change_mtu's cleanups and
netpoll, when we change the MTU across jumbo size:

Changing MTU frees all the rx buffers:
    e1000_change_mtu -> e1000_down -> e1000_clean_all_rx_rings ->
        e1000_clean_rx_ring

Then, close to the end of e1000_change_mtu:
    pr_info -> ... -> netpoll_poll_dev -> e1000_clean ->
        e1000_clean_rx_irq -> e1000_alloc_rx_buffers -> e1000_alloc_frag

And when we come back to do the rest of the MTU change:
    e1000_up -> e1000_configure -> e1000_configure_rx ->
        e1000_alloc_jumbo_rx_buffers

alloc_jumbo finds the buffers already != NULL, since data (shared with
page in e1000_rx_buffer->rxbuf) has been re-alloc'd, but it's garbage,
or at least not what is expected when in jumbo state.

This results in an unusable adapter (packets don't get through), and a
NULL pointer dereference on the next call to e1000_clean_rx_ring
(other mtu change, link down, shutdown):

By setting the allocator to a dummy version, netpoll can't mess up our
rx buffers.  The allocator is set back to a sane value in
e1000_configure_rx.
