[PATCH can] can: sun4i_can: sun4i_can_interrupt(): fix max irq loop handling

Reading the interrupt register `SUN4I_REG_INT_ADDR` causes all of its bits
to be reset. If we ever reach the condition of handling more than
`SUN4I_CAN_MAX_IRQ` IRQs, we will have read the register and reset all its
bits but without actually handling the interrupt inside of the loop body.

This may, among other issues, cause us to never `netif_wake_queue()` again
after a transmission interrupt.

I've ported the fix from the sja1000 driver to the sun4i_can, which based
on the sja1000 driver.
