altera tse: Fix network-delays and -retransmissions after high throug…

…hput.

Fix bug which occurs when more than <limit> packets are available during
napi-poll, leading to "delays" and retransmissions on the network.

Check for (count < limit) before checking the get_rx_status in tse_rx-function.
Function get_rx_status is reading from the response-fifo.
If there is currently a response in the fifo,
reading the last byte of the response pops the value from the fifo.
If the limit is checked as second condition
and the limit is reached the fifo is popped but the packet is not processed.
