Subject: [PATCH net v2 1/2] stmmac: xsk: fix underflow of budget in zerocopy mode

From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@...cent.com>

An underflow can happen when the budget number of descs are consumed.
as long as the budget is decreased to zero, it will again go into
while (budget-- > 0) statement and get decreased by one, so the
underflow issue can happen. It will lead to returning true whereas the
expected value should be false.

In this case where all the budget is used up, it means zc function
should return false to let the poll run again because normally we
might have more data to process. Without this patch, zc function would
return true instead.

Fixes: 132c32ee5bc0 ("net: stmmac: Add TX via XDP zero-copy socket")

1. target net tree instead of net-next
2. revise commit message
3. use for loop to replace while loop
