mvneta: add XDP ethtool errors stats for TX to driver
Adding ethtool stats for when XDP transmitted packets overrun the TX queue. This is recorded separately for XDP_TX and ndo_xdp_xmit. This is an important aid for troubleshooting XDP based setups. It is currently a known weakness and property of XDP that there isn't any push-back or congestion feedback when transmitting frames via XDP. It's easy to realise when redirecting from a higher speed link into a slower speed link, or simply two ingress links into a single egress. The situation can also happen when Ethernet flow control is active. For testing the patch and provoking the situation to occur on my Espressobin board, I configured the TX-queue to be smaller (434) than RX-queue (512) and overload network with large MTU size frames (as a larger frame takes longer to transmit). Hopefully the upcoming XDP TX hook can be extended to provide insight into these TX queue overflows, to allow programmable adaptation strategies.
