[PATCH net-next v1] net: stmmac: TSO: Simplify the code flow of DMA descriptor allocations

The DMA AXI address width of DWMAC cores can be configured to
32-bit/40-bit/48-bit, then the format of DMA transmit descriptors
get a little different between 32-bit and 40-bit/48-bit.
Current driver code checks priv->dma_cap.addr64 to use certain format
with certain configuration.

This patch converts the format of DMA transmit descriptors on platforms
that the DMA AXI address width is configured to 32-bit (as described by
function comments of stmmac_tso_xmit() in current code) to a more generic
format (see the updated function comments after this patch) which is
actually already used on 40-bit/48-bit platforms to provide better
compatibility and make code flow cleaner.

Tested and verified on:
DWMAC CORE 5.10a with 32-bit DMA AXI address width
DWXGMAC CORE 3.20a with 40-bit DMA AXI address width
