6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mieczyslaw Nalewaj <namiltd@yahoo.com>

[ Upstream commit f76a93241d71fbba8425e3967097b498c29264ed ]

rx_packets should report the number of frames successfully received:
unicast + multicast + broadcast. Subtracting ifOutDiscards (a TX
counter) is incorrect and can undercount RX packets. RX drops are
already reported via rx_dropped (e.g. etherStatsDropEvents), so
there is no need to adjust rx_packets.

This patch removes the subtraction of ifOutDiscards from rx_packets
in rtl8365mb_stats_update().
