net: stmmac: use first_desc for TBS

Browse source

Rather than freshly getting a pointer for the TBS descriptor (because
we want to access its enhanced fields) convert the existing first_desc
basic descriptor to a pointer to the enhanced descriptor.

Add a comment explaining why it is safe to convert from the basic
descriptor pointer to the enhanced descriptor pointer.
