The xdp_convert_buff_to_frame() function can return NULL when there is
insufficient headroom in the buffer to store the xdp_frame structure
or when the driver didn't reserve enough tailroom for skb_shared_info.
Currently, the sfc driver does not check for this NULL return value
in the XDP_TX case within efx_do_xdp(). While the efx_xdp_tx_buffers()
function has some defensive checks, passing a NULL xdpf can still lead
to undefined behavior when the function tries to access xdpf->len and
xdpf->data.
Fix by adding a proper NULL check in the XDP_TX case. If conversion
fails, free the RX buffer and increment the bad drops counter, following
the same pattern used for other XDP error conditions in this driver.
