TPA IDs are generated by FW and can be up to 1024. bnxt_alloc_agg_idx is
intended to wrap the FW ID to a value in the range of [0, 255] and
generate a mapping between FW IDs and the wrapped software ID.

On a 57608 with firmware version 233, the firmware advertises 32
concurrent TPAs. As of the commit under fixes, bp->max_tpa on this NIC
is set to 32.

If the software ID from bnxt_alloc_agg_idx is above 31, this results in
an invalid address being loaded on this line:

  tpa_info = &rxr->rx_tpa[agg_id];

because rx_tpa is allocated with only bp->max_tpa (32) entries. Writes
to tpa_info later in the code are out of bounds.

This bug results in a crash at boot:

This stack trace is from a crash triggered when an out of bounds rx_tpa
is dereferenced. The invalid write mentioned above is silent in this
particular crash.

Fix this by allocating rx_tpa with bp->max_tpa rounded up to the next
power of 2 (bp->max_tpa_roundup_size) entries and masking the FW TPA ID
with that size, so the wrapped ID can never index past the end of the
array.

Fixes: 54c28fab2fa5 ("bnxt_en: Set bp->max_tpa according to what the FW supports")

v2:
  - Followed Michael's suggestion on the v1 to increase the size of the tpa
    array so that wrapping indexes into the array is a simple mask.
  - Add Suggested-by because the approach was suggested by Micahel.
  - Add a Reported-by so that Raphael gets credit for reporting this bug.
  - Boot tested on a machine with a 57608 and the crash did not reproduce.
