ixgbe: split Tx/Rx ring clearing for ethtool loopback test
Commit: fed21bcee7a5 ("ixgbe: Don't bother clearing buffer memory for descriptor rings) exposed some issues with the logic in the current implementation of ixgbe_clean_test_rings() that are being addressed in this patch: - Split the clearing of the Tx and Rx rings in separate loops. Previously both Tx and Rx rings were cleared in a rx_desc->wb.upper.length based loop which could lead to issues if for w/e reason packets were received outside of the frames transmitted for the loopback test. - Add check for IXGBE_TXD_STAT_DD to avoid clearing the rings if the transmits have not comlpeted by the time we enter ixgbe_clean_test_rings() - Exit early on ixgbe_check_lbtest_frame() failure. This change fixes a crash during ethtool diagnostic (ethtool -t).
