Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 054/142] net/mlx4_en: Count HW buffer overrun only once

3.16.7-ckt26 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Amir Vadai <amir@...ai.me>

commit 281e8b2fdf8e4ef366b899453cae50e09b577ada upstream.

RdropOvflw counts overrun of HW buffer, therefore should
be used for rx_fifo_errors only.

Currently RdropOvflw counter is mistakenly also set into
rx_missed_errors and rx_over_errors too, which makes the
device total dropped packets accounting to show wrong results.

Fix that. Use it for rx_fifo_errors only.
