[PATCH net 08/13] net: stmmac: Fix Rx IC bit setting procedure for Rx-mitigation

The WDT-less Rx-traffic mitigation is simple: enable the Rx-descriptor
Completion interrupt only when a particular number of descriptors handled
by the NIC. Alas it's broken now because the data variable rx_count_frames
is always set to zero due to commit 6fa9d691b91a ("net: stmmac: Prevent
divide-by-zero") (++rx_count_frames + rx_coal_frames > rx_coal_frames
always if no overflow happens). So Rx IC will be enabled for each
descriptor as soon as rx_coal_frames is non-zero or there is no Rx WDT
available, which basically disables the Rx-mitigation in the framework of
the number of received frames part. Fix that by discarding the statement:
rx_q->rx_count_frames += priv->rx_coal_frames.

Fixes: 6fa9d691b91a ("net: stmmac: Prevent divide-by-zero")
