In order to respect the original descriptor order and avoid any
potential IOMMU fault or memory corruption, move pending queue entries
to the head of hw queue tx_list if the DMA mapping of current inflight
packet fails in airoha_dev_xmit routine.

Fixes: 3f47e67dff1f7 ("net: airoha: Add the capability to consume out-of-order DMA tx descriptors")
