A few fixes to address pre-existing issues from Sashiko review.

Notes on the feedback from net-next v1 posting [0]:
- It correctly complains about ABI breakage for 32 bit systems, added
  an explanation why I think we unlikely to have any 32 bit users with
  launch time
- mlx5 batching (pre existing) - I think my point in the comment still
  stays (that we do not make it worse)
- stmmac recycled descriptors (pre existing) - seems valid but I don't feel
  confident sending a vibe-coded fix
- stmmac queueMaxSDU vs taprio offload - don't think this is real but
  we can fix separately later if it is (the existing issue with breaking
  xsk seems more real)

v3:
- update first patch commit description (Arnd)
- replace last patch with a comment (Jakub)

v2:
- target net, address clashiko feedback (mostly here and other commit
  descriptions)

Add explicit padding before launch_time so xsk_tx_metadata has the same
layout on 32-bit and 64-bit systems.

On several architectures (csky, i386, nios2, m65k, openrisc, sh), the old
native 32-bit layout put launch_time at offset 12 and had a natural size of
20 bytes. Using sizeof(struct xsk_tx_metadata) as tx_metadata_len was already
rejected because the length must be a multiple of eight, so the
straightforward use of the interface was broken on those ABIs. Userspace
could still register a padded length of 24 bytes, though; mixing the old and
new layouts then silently reads launch_time from the wrong offset and
misprograms packet launch times. This intentionally replaces that
incompatible layout because the affected architectures are unlikely to
have any notable users. (x86_64 and arm64 have the most users and are _not_
affected)

The zero-copy path reads TX metadata whenever the UMEM has metadata space,
even if the descriptor does not set XDP_TX_METADATA. Pass descriptor
options through the metadata helpers and ignore metadata unless the option
is set.

This does not fix the existing per-WQE metadata handling for mlx5 MPWQEs.
Only the descriptor that starts a session passes through
xsk_tx_metadata_request() and configures offload state shared by the batch.
Metadata on descriptors joining an open session is therefore not validated
and does not configure its requested offloads. In addition, a non-NULL
metadata pointer from such a descriptor is treated as a timestamp
completion request even when XDP_TXMD_FLAGS_TIMESTAMP is not set, so its
metadata union can be overwritten with an unrequested timestamp. Fixing
mixed metadata states within one MPWQE requires a separate change.

Fixes: 48eb03dd2630 ("xsk: Add TX timestamp and TX checksum offload support")

stmmac drops AF_XDP zero-copy frames that exceed taprio's queueMaxSDU
after xsk_tx_peek_desc() has reserved their completion entries.

Completing a rejected descriptor is unsafe because AF_XDP completions are
ordered: xsk_tx_completed(pool, 1) would complete the oldest outstanding
descriptor, which may still be owned by hardware. Instead, leave the
completion pending so the ring eventually wedges and increment the drop
counter to expose the application error without risking hardware
misbehavior.

Document this intentional ring imbalance at the check.
