net: increase maximum frame size to accomediate VLAN packets
Ethernet packages with IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support may be up to 1522 bytes long. Increase the default size used to allocate packet storage by 4 bytes. While at it, let git care about history and rewrite the comment to represent the situation today only.
