[PATCH net v3 1/2] stmmac: xsk: fix negative overflow of budget in zerocopy mode

From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@tencent.com>

A negative overflow can happen when the budget number of descs are
consumed. as long as the budget is decreased to zero, it will again go
into while (budget-- > 0) statement and get decreased by one, so the
overflow issue can happen. It will lead to returning true whereas the
expected value should be false.

In this case where all the budget is used up, it means zc function
should return false to let the poll run again because normally we
might have more data to process. Without this patch, zc function would
return true instead.

v3
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAL+tcoAnB+8ZLPyWQ3XsvWTa=JO1yCKWvrKVp+2WCP=kGpfSPg@mail.gmail.com/ (local)
1. collect reviewed-by tag
2. replace 'underflow' with 'negative overflow' in a technical way.

v2
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250721083343.16482-1-kerneljasonxing@gmail.com/ (local)
1. target net tree instead of net-next
2. revise commit message
3. use for loop to replace while loop
