Subject: [PATCH net v2] amd-xgbe: avoid misleading per-packet error log

On the receive path, packet can be damaged because of buffer
overflow in Rx FIFO. Avoid misleading per-packet error log when
packet->errors is set, this can flood the log. Instead, rely on the
standard rtnl_link_stats64 stats.

Fixes: c5aa9e3b8156 ("amd-xgbe: Initial AMD 10GbE platform driver")
Signed-off-by: Raju Rangoju <Raju.Rangoju@....com>

Changes since v1:
 - fifo overflow errors are counted as part of standard
   rtnl_link_stats64, so remove them from non-standard stats
