net: stmmac: fix transmit interrupt coalescing
The accounting for transmit frames does not count the descriptors correctly. It uses: tx_packets = (tx_q->cur_tx + 1) - first_tx; however, these are indexes into a circular buffer, so cur_tx can be less than first_tx, and when that happens, tx_packets becomes a very large unsigned integer. When this is added to tx_q->tx_count_frames, it has the effect of reducing the count of frames, possibly causing it to also wrap to a very large unsigned integer. Fix this by using CIRC_CNT() to calculate the number of descriptors used.
