net/mlx5e: RX, Fix XDP multi-buf frag counting for striding RQ

XDP multi-buf programs can modify the layout of the XDP buffer when the
program calls bpf_xdp_pull_data() or bpf_xdp_adjust_tail(). The
referenced commit in the fixes tag corrected the assumption in the mlx5
driver that the XDP buffer layout doesn't change during a program
execution. However, this fix introduced another issue: the dropped
fragments still need to be counted on the driver side to avoid page
fragment reference counting issues.

The issue was discovered by the drivers/net/xdp.py selftest,
more specifically the test_xdp_native_tx_mb:
- The mlx5 driver allocates a page_pool page and initializes it with
  a frag counter of 64 (pp_ref_count=64) and the internal frag counter
  to 0.
- The test sends one packet with no payload.
- On RX (mlx5e_skb_from_cqe_mpwrq_nonlinear()), mlx5 configures the XDP
  buffer with the packet data starting in the first fragment which is the
  page mentioned above.
- The XDP program runs and calls bpf_xdp_pull_data() which moves the
  header into the linear part of the XDP buffer. As the packet doesn't
  contain more data, the program drops the tail fragment since it no
  longer contains any payload (pp_ref_count=63).
- mlx5 device skips counting this fragment. Internal frag counter
  remains 0.
- mlx5 releases all 64 fragments of the page but page pp_ref_count is
  63 => negative reference counting error.

Resulting splat during the test:

The problem applies for XDP_PASS as well which is handled in a different
code path in the driver.

This patch fixes the issue by doing page frag counting on all the
original XDP buffer fragments for all relevant XDP actions (XDP_TX ,
XDP_REDIRECT and XDP_PASS). This is basically reverting to the original
counting before the commit in the fixes tag.

As frag_page is still pointing to the original tail, the nr_frags
parameter to xdp_update_skb_frags_info() needs to be calculated
in a different way to reflect the new nr_frags.
