napi_build_skb() can return NULL on allocation failure. In
__octep_vf_oq_process_rx(), the result is used directly without a
NULL check in both the single-buffer and multi-fragment paths,
leading to a NULL pointer dereference.

Patch 1 introduces a helper to deduplicate the ring index advance
pattern, patch 2 adds the actual NULL checks.

v1 -> v2: split into refactor + fix per Simon Horman review.

Introduce octep_vf_oq_next_idx() to consolidate the repeated
ring index advance and wraparound pattern in __octep_vf_oq_process_rx().

No functional change intended.

napi_build_skb() can return NULL on allocation failure. In
__octep_vf_oq_process_rx(), the result is used directly without a NULL
check in both the single-buffer and multi-fragment paths, leading to a
NULL pointer dereference.

Add NULL checks after both napi_build_skb() calls, properly advancing
descriptors and consuming remaining fragments on failure.
