Subject: [PATCH net-next 04/16] net/mlx5e: Make the wqe_index_mask calculation more exact

From: Maxim Mikityanskiy <maximmi@...dia.com>

The old calculation of wqe_index_mask may give false positives, i.e.
request bulking of pairs of WQEs when not strictly needed, for example,
when the first fragment size is equal to the PAGE_SIZE, bulking is not
needed, even if the number of fragments is odd.

Make the calculation more exact to cut false positives.
