backlog when syncookies are not enabled.  When backlog
becomes very deep, last quarter of backlog is limited to

stmmac: fix stmmac_resume removing not yet used shutdown flag

The commit to convert to use the dev_pm_ops struct
introduces a bug. The shutdown flag is not yet used
because the hibernation on memory is done by using
the freeze callback.
Thanks to Vlad for having reported it.

config blocks for address families which did not register a set
function the errors EAFNOSUPPORT respectively EOPNOSUPPORT are
