[PATCH net v3 2/2] igb: xsk: solve negative overflow of nb_pkts in zerocopy mode

From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@tencent.com>

There is no break time in the while() loop, so every time at the end of
igb_xmit_zc(), negative overflow of nb_pkts will occur, which renders
the return value always false. But theoretically, the result should be
set after calling xsk_tx_peek_release_desc_batch(). We can take
i40e_xmit_zc() as a good example.

Returning false means we're not done with transmission and we need one
more poll, which is exactly what igb_xmit_zc() always did before this
patch. After this patch, the return value depends on the nb_pkts value.
Two cases might happen then:
1. if (nb_pkts < budget), it means we process all the possible data, so
   return true and no more necessary poll will be triggered because of
   this.
2. if (nb_pkts == budget), it means we might have more data, so return
   false to let another poll run again.

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. use for loop instead
