net/mlx5e: RX, verify received packet size in Linear Striding RQ

Browse source 
[ Upstream commit 0073c8f727 ]

In case of striding RQ, we use  MPWRQ (Multi Packet WQE RQ), which means
that WQE (RX descriptor) can be used for many packets and so the WQE is
much bigger than MTU.  In virtualization setups where the port mtu can
be larger than the vf mtu, if received packet is bigger than MTU, it
won't be dropped by HW on too small receive WQE. If we use linear SKB in
striding RQ, since each stride has room for mtu size payload and skb
info, an oversized packet can lead to crash for crossing allocated page
boundary upon the call to build_skb. So driver needs to check packet
size and drop it.

Introduce new SW rx counter, rx_oversize_pkts_sw_drop, which counts the
number of packets dropped by the driver for being too large.

As a new field is added to the RQ struct, re-open the channels whenever
this field is being used in datapath (i.e., in the case of linear
Striding RQ).
