Subject: [PATCH net 2/3] bnxt_en: Exclude rx_drop_pkts hw counter from the stack's rx_dropped counter.

This hardware counter is misleading as it counts dropped packets that
don't match the hardware filters for unicast/broadcast/multicast.  We
will still report this counter in ethtool -S for diagnostics purposes.
