[PATCH 2/2] net: stmmac: don't stop NAPI processing when dropping a packet

[Aviraj CJ <acj@cisco.com>]

Currently, if we drop a packet, we exit from NAPI loop before the budget
is consumed. In some situations this will make the RX processing stall
e.g. when flood pinging the system with oversized packets, as the
errorneous packets are not dropped efficiently.

If we drop a packet, we should just continue to the next one as long as
the budget allows.

[ Adopted based on upstream commit 2170bbf19f6ef6b2740f186ee107827f31395218
