Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: airoha: Take into account out-of-order tx
 completions in airoha_dev_xmit()

Completion napi can free out-of-order tx descriptors if hw QoS is
enabled and packets with different priority are queued to same DMA ring.
Take into account possible out-of-order reports checking if the tx queue
is full using circular buffer head/tail pointer instead of the number of
queued packets.

Fixes: 23020f0493270 ("net: airoha: Introduce ethernet support for EN7581 SoC")
Suggested-by: Simon Horman <horms@...nel.org>

Changes in v2:
- Fix corner case when the queue is full
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251010-airoha-tx-busy-queue-v1-1-9e1af5d06104@kernel.org
