[PATCH net v1 1/2] amd-xgbe: Properly handle feature changes via ethtool

The ndo_set_features callback function was improperly using an unsigned
int to save the current feature value for features such as NETIF_F_RXCSUM.
Since that feature is in the upper 32 bits of a 64 bit variable the
result was always 0 making it not possible to actually turn off the
hardware RX checksum support. Change the unsigned int type to the
netdev_features_t type in order to properly capture the current value
and perform the proper operation.

Currently the amd-xgbe driver increments the packets processed counter
each time a descriptor is processed. Since a packet can be represented
by more than one descriptor incrementing the counter in this way is not
appropriate. Also, since multiple descriptors cause the budget check
to be short circuited, sometimes the returned value from the poll
function would be larger than the budget value resulting in a WARN_ONCE
being triggered.

Update the polling logic to properly account for the number of packets
processed and exit when the budget value is reached.

The following series of patches includes fixes to the driver.
- Properly handle feature changes via ethtool by using correctly sized
variables
- Perform proper napi packet counting and budget checking
This patch series is based on net.
Series applied, thanks Tom.
