net: bcmgenet: add basic XDP support (PASS/DROP)

This patch adds XDP program attachment via ndo_bpf and executes XDP
programs in the RX path, handling XDP_PASS by building an SKB from the
xdp_buff and XDP_DROP by returning the page to the page pool.
NETDEV_XDP_ACT_BASIC is advertised in xdp_features.

Can this produce a negative pkt_len on short frames?

The earlier sanity check only rejects len < GENET_RSB_PAD:

    if (unlikely(len > RX_BUF_LENGTH || len < GENET_RSB_PAD)) {
        ...
        goto next;
    }

So len in the range [GENET_RSB_PAD, GENET_RSB_PAD + ETH_FCS_LEN - 1]
(i.e. 66..69) will pass that check.  When crc_fwd_en is set, the
computation then yields pkt_len in [-4, -1].

The driver already tracks such frames via rx_runt_cnt / rx_runt_fcs /
rx_runt_bytes in its MIB counters, so the hardware can deliver them.

A negative pkt_len gets passed here as data_len, so
xdp_prepare_buff() sets xdp->data_end = xdp->data + pkt_len and
xdp->data_end is now below xdp->data.

With no XDP program attached, bcmgenet_run_xdp() unconditionally
returns XDP_PASS and bcmgenet_xdp_build_skb() is called, which does:

    __skb_put(skb, xdp->data_end - xdp->data);

The (ptrdiff_t) xdp->data_end - xdp->data is negative, but __skb_put()
takes an unsigned int, so it becomes a value near 4GB.  __skb_put()
does not bounds-check and unconditionally advances skb->tail and
skb->len by that amount.  The resulting SKB is then handed to
napi_gro_receive().

Would it make sense to tighten the length check to include ETH_FCS_LEN
when crc_fwd_en is set, or validate pkt_len >= 0 before calling
xdp_prepare_buff()?

The pre-patch code happened to be safe here because skb_trim() has
implicit underflow protection:

    if (skb->len > len)
        ...

So removing the skb_trim path drops that protection.
