Add a mechanism to guard against stashing partial packets into the hash table to make the driver more robust, with more efficient decision making when cleaning. Don't stash partial packets. This can happen when an RE (Report Event) completion is received in flow scheduling mode, or when an out of order RS (Report Status) completion is received. The first buffer with the skb is stashed, but some or all of its frags are not because the stack is out of reserve buffers. This leaves the ring in a weird state since the frags are still on the ring. Use the field libeth_sqe::nr_frags to track the number of fragments/tx_bufs representing the packet. The clean routines check to make sure there are enough reserve buffers on the stack before stashing any part of the packet. If there are not, next_to_clean is left pointing to the first buffer of the packet that failed to be stashed. This leaves the whole packet on the ring, and the next time around, cleaning will start from this packet. An RS completion is still expected for this packet in either case. So instead of being cleaned from the hash table, it will be cleaned from the ring directly. This should all still be fine since the DESC_UNUSED and BUFS_UNUSED will reflect the state of the ring. If we ever fall below the thresholds, the TxQ will still be stopped, giving the completion queue time to catch up. This may lead to stopping the queue more frequently, but it guarantees the Tx ring will always be in a good state. Also, always use the idpf_tx_splitq_clean function to clean descriptors, i.e. use it from clean_buf_ring as well. This way we avoid duplicating the logic and make sure we're using the same reserve buffers guard rail. This does require a switch from the s16 next_to_clean overflow descriptor ring wrap calculation to u16 and the normal ring size check.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
