[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH iwl-next v2 8/8] igc: SW pad preemptible frames for correct mCRC calculation

[Faizal Rahim <faizal.abdul.rahim@linux.intel.com>]

From: Chwee-Lin Choong <chwee.lin.choong@intel.com>

A hardware-padded frame transmitted from the preemptible queue
results in an incorrect mCRC computation by hardware, as the
padding bytes are not included in the mCRC calculation.

To address this, manually pad frames in preemptible queues to a
minimum length of 60 bytes using skb_padto() before transmission.
This ensures that the hardware includes the padding bytes in the
mCRC computation, producing a correct mCRC value.
