====================
Fix a variety of TPA bugs

I am sending this series as an extension to my v4 [1] which was just 1 patch.

Note that patch 5 of this series can now cause the device to fail closed if
memory is tight; bnxt_init_nic propagates an error that was previously
swallowed and fails closed instead of succeeding in a degraded state. If the
maintainers want the device to come up with a partially populated rx_tpa[],
then patch 5 can be dropped and this series can still be applied
and will otherwise work as intended.

This series addresses a variety of bugs orbiting the TPA code in the bnxt
driver that Sashiko (or Clashiko or whatever) pointed out and the series ends
with the patch from the v4 [1].

A lot of the noise generated by the AIs while reviewing my v4 are unrelated
bugs with different fixes tags that, IMHO, distract a bit from the crash at
boot that is currently occurring with Thor2 hardware on recent kernels.

That said, I've tried to wrangle this series together which I hope will solve
most of the important bugs the AIs are feeling something about.

I do not know what other rabbit holes the AIs will find when I submit this
series, but if there is some reasonable stop-gap that we can get applied to
fix the crashes on Thor2 (while I iterate on the rest of the bugs at the
pleasure of the AIs) that would be excellent.

I boot tested this on a Thor1 and a Thor2 machine and there were no crashes at
boot.
