net: bcmgenet: rewrite bcmgenet_rx_refill()
Currently, bcmgenet_desc_rx() calls bcmgenet_rx_refill() at the end of Rx packet processing loop, after the current Rx packet has already been passed to napi_gro_receive(). However, bcmgenet_rx_refill() might fail to allocate a new Rx skb, thus leaving a hole on the Rx queue where no valid Rx buffer exists. To eliminate this situation: 1. Rewrite bcmgenet_rx_refill() to retain the current Rx skb on the Rx queue if a new replacement Rx skb can't be allocated and DMA-mapped. In this case, the data on the current Rx skb is effectively dropped. 2. Modify bcmgenet_desc_rx() to call bcmgenet_rx_refill() at the top of Rx packet processing loop, so that the new replacement Rx skb is already in place before the current Rx skb is processed.
