Previous logic worked without this patch by an accident, so I don't change
the behaviour of the loopback self test itself, therefore I was not sure
if this could be classified as a bugfix.

Rx descriptor's status_error0 field has ICE_RX_FLEX_DESC_STATUS0_DD_S and
ICE_RX_FLEX_DESC_STATUS0_EOF_S set, which have the following values:

enum ice_rx_flex_desc_status_error_0_bits {
	/* Note: These are predefined bit offsets */
	ICE_RX_FLEX_DESC_STATUS0_DD_S = 0,
	ICE_RX_FLEX_DESC_STATUS0_EOF_S,
	(...)
};

Old code was only ORing two following enums:

enum ice_tx_desc_cmd_bits {
	ICE_TX_DESC_CMD_EOP			= 0x0001,
	ICE_TX_DESC_CMD_RS			= 0x0002,
	(...)
};

If BIT() was used around ICE_TX_DESC_CMD_EOP and ICE_TX_DESC_CMD_RS and if
they were checked separately then on RS bit we would fail.

(let me also check for EOF bit in next revision)
