[PATCH net-next 4/9] net: stmmac: descs: fix buffer 1 off-by-one error

norm_set_tx_desc_len_on_ring() incorrectly tests the buffer length,
leading to a length of 2048 being squeezed into a bitfield covering
bits 10:0 - which results in the buffer 1 size being zero.
If this field is zero, buffer 1 is ignored, and thus is equivalent
to transmitting a zero length buffer.
