[PATCH net] net: stmmac: fix rx Scatter-Gather support

When a received frame is larger than dma_buf_sz, the DMA scatters it
across multiple RX descriptors (rx Scatter-Gather). The secondary RX
buffer (sec_page) was only allocated and programmed when split-header
(SPH) was active, so for regular frames buffer2 was neither allocated
nor backed by a valid mapping. As soon as an incoming frame overflowed
buffer1, the DMA wrote the overflow into the unmapped secondary-buffer
address, triggering an SMMU translation fault on IOMMU-based platforms:
arm-smmu 15000000.iommu: Unhandled context fault: fsr=0x402, iova=0x00000000, fsynr=0x7f0011, cbfrsynra=0x1c90, cb=11
arm-smmu 15000000.iommu: FSR = 00000402 [Format=2 TF], SID=0x1c90
arm-smmu 15000000.iommu: FSYNR0 = 007f0011 [S1CBNDX=127 WNR PLVL=1]
Enable scatter-gather for non-SPH frames: always allocate the secondary
RX buffer and always mark buffer2 as valid in stmmac_init_rx_buffers()
and stmmac_rx_refill(), and account for it in the buffer length
computation. stmmac_rx_buf1_len() now returns min(dma_buf_sz, plen - len)
on the last descriptor, while stmmac_rx_buf2_len() returns the remaining
bytes on the last descriptor and dma_buf_sz on the intermediate ones. The
GMAC4 + split-header path keeps using the accumulated payload length
semantics, since there an intermediate descriptor's buffer2 can be only
partially filled.
