[PATCH net] gve: fix incorrect buffer cleanup in gve_tx_clean_pending_packets for QPL

[Joshua Washington]

From: Ankit Garg <nktgrg@google.com>

In DQ-QPL mode, gve_tx_clean_pending_packets() incorrectly uses the RDA
buffer cleanup path. It iterates num_bufs times and attempts to unmap
entries in the dma array.

This leads to two issues:
1. The dma array shares storage with tx_qpl_buf_ids (union).
 Interpreting buffer IDs as DMA addresses results in attempting to
 unmap incorrect memory locations.
2. num_bufs in QPL mode (counting 2K chunks) can significantly exceed
 the size of the dma array, causing out-of-bounds access warnings
(trace below is how we noticed this issue).

UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in
drivers/net/ethernet/drivers/net/ethernet/google/gve/gve_tx_dqo.c:178:5 index 18 is out of
range for type 'dma_addr_t[18]' (aka 'unsigned long long[18]')
Workqueue: gve gve_service_task [gve]
Call Trace:
<TASK>
dump_stack_lvl+0x33/0xa0
__ubsan_handle_out_of_bounds+0xdc/0x110
gve_tx_stop_ring_dqo+0x182/0x200 [gve]

gve_reset+0x99/0x120 [gve]
gve_service_task+0x61/0x100 [gve]
process_scheduled_works+0x1e9/0x380

Fix this by properly checking for QPL mode and delegating to
gve_free_tx_qpl_bufs() to reclaim the buffers.

Per kernel coding style forward declarations should be avoided.
Please move the functions instead.
