ixgbe: fix integer overflow and wrong bit position in ixgbe_validate_rtr()

This commit fixes two bugs in ixgbe_validate_rtr() by masking the
traffic-class field properly before assigning it to a u8, and correctly
shifting the mask for clearing out-of-bounds entries.

This wasn't introduced by this patch, but is there a pre-existing off-by-one
error in this bounds check?

If tc represents the number of enabled traffic classes (e.g., 4), the valid TC
indices would be 0 through tc - 1. If up2tc equals tc, it would be out of
bounds, but the condition up2tc > tc will evaluate to false and the invalid
mapping won't be cleared.

Could this allow an invalid UP-to-TC mapping to persist in the hardware
register, potentially causing received packets to be mis-steered to an
uninitialized or non-existent traffic class queue?

Should the condition be corrected to ensure up2tc is strictly less than tc
when tc > 0?
