[PATCH net-next 10/11] bnxt_en: Reduce unnecessary message log during RX errors.

[Michael Chan <michael.chan@broadcom.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1476 bytes --]

There is logic in the RX path to detect unexpected handles in the
RX completion.  We'll print a warning and schedule a reset.  The
next expected handle is then set to 0xffff which is guaranteed to
not match any valid handle.  This will force all remaining packets in
the ring to be discarded before the reset.  There can be hundreds of
these packets remaining in the ring and there is no need to print the
warnings for these forced errors.
