From: Nazim Amirul <muhammad.nazim.amirul.nazle.asmade@altera.com>

Mask the hardware credit value using compound assignment and replace the
simple masked comparison with a software-extended counter that handles
wrap-around.

The HW credit register is limited to n bits and wraps naturally. The
previous logic compared the masked value directly against sent_packets,
which breaks once the counter wraps. Extend the counter in software by
tracking forward wraps and accumulating an overflow counter. A wrap is
detected when the masked value decreases by more than half of the modulo,
avoiding false detection from small backward glitches.

Compute a monotonic real_credit from the overflow counter and the masked
value, then compare it directly with sent_packets. This ensures correct
FIFO space detection across wraps. Also add error reporting when the
credit appears to move behind the sent count.
