Subject: [PATCH net] net: natsemi: fix `rx_dropped` double accounting on `netif_rx()` failure

`netif_rx()` already increments `rx_dropped` core stat when it fails.
The driver was also updating `ndev->stats.rx_dropped` in the same path.
Since both are reported together via `ip -s -s` command, this resulted
in drops being counted twice in user-visible stats.

Keep the driver update on `skb_put()` failure, but skip it after
`netif_rx()` errors.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
