The first patch is here to allow giving a drop reason.
We dissociate consumed packets from dropped ones that way.

Second patch is the main one: it drops unsent packets on close.
MACB driver forgot freeing its SKBs (and associated DMA mappings).

Changes in v3:
- Drop stats fixing. A proper fix deserves its own net-next refactoring
  series to migrate to netdev_stat_ops (ynltool uAPI), which will come
  in later. We keep the tx_dropped++ because they are safe as every
  other context is disabled when macb_free_consistent() is called.
- Rebased to latest net/main (406e8a651a7b), nothing to report.
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260428-macb-drop-tx-v2-0-647f5199d8df@bootlin.com

Changes in v2:
- Increment tx_dropped stat once per SKB, not once per frame.
- Reset tx_head & tx_tail to avoid keeping stalled cursors.
- Fix SKB dropped reasons throughout by adding the reason as parameter
  to macb_tx_unmap(). This is a new patch. Then the drop-all-on-close
  fix can use this ability to report we are not consuming SKBs.
- Add increment to stats->tx_dropped on DMA mapping failure and
  tx_error_task. Done as separate patches (3 and 4).
- Rebase upon net/main @ 46f74a3f7d57, nothing to report.
