We should set max frame size to HW in the beginning when the driver was introduced, so
the fix commit should be 50370662b727 ("net/ice: support device and queue ops")

Fix this while merging.

Why set the max frame size to HW in start ops, not in init stage like in i40e?
and what if max_rx_pkt_len hasn't been set?
