[PATCH net v2 1/3] net: airoha: handle RX_NO_CPU_DSCP interrupt, not just RX_DONE

airoha_qdma_hw_init() unmasks the per-ring NO_CPU_DSCP interrupt, which
fires when an RX ring runs out of free CPU descriptors, but
airoha_irq_handler() only extracts the RX_DONE bits from the same status
word. The NO_CPU_DSCP bits are acknowledged and dropped.

Once a ring is drained to zero posted descriptors no further RX_DONE can
fire for it - nothing is left for hw to receive into - so NAPI is never
rescheduled, airoha_qdma_fill_rx_queue() is never called again, and the
ring stays dead until the interface is reconfigured.

This is reachable on RX ring 4, which airoha_fe_vip_setup() force-routes
~15 VIP-classified protocols onto (BOOTP, PPPoE Discovery, ISAKMP,
DHCPv6, SIP, LLDP, PPP LCP/IPCP/CHAP/PAP/IPv6CP, ...) while it sits on
the 16-descriptor RX_DSCP_NUM() default. A DHCP renewal or a PPPoE
negotiation burst drains it faster than the CPU reposts, after which all
of those protocols silently stop being received.

Treat NO_CPU_DSCP like RX_DONE for scheduling NAPI:
airoha_qdma_rx_process() already calls airoha_qdma_fill_rx_queue()
unconditionally at the end of every poll, so scheduling NAPI is enough
to make an emptied ring refill itself. Re-enable the bit alongside
RX_DONE in airoha_qdma_rx_napi_poll() so it is not left masked after
first use.

Whether NO_CPU_DSCP re-latches while the ring is still empty is not
documented. If it does, a ring that cannot be refilled (page_pool
returning NULL) keeps reasserting it. Masking it until a refill succeeds
is worse: a starved ring never fires RX_DONE either, so it would stay
dead after the memory pressure clears.
