[PATCH net] octeontx2-pf: tc: fix egress ratelimiting

From: <hidden>

Subsystem: marvell octeontx2 physical function driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Sunil Goutham, Geetha sowjanya, Ratheesh Kannoth, Subbaraya Sundeep, Bharat Bhushan, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Hariprasad Kelam <redacted>

The egress rate calculation computes an incorrect mantissa and exponent,
causing up to ~50% deviation from the configured rate at lower speeds.

Rework the computation to follow the hardware rate formula:

	rate = 2 * (1 + mantissa/256) * 2^exp / (1 << div_exp)

Keep div_exp = 0 and derive exp and mantissa from half of the requested
rate. Rates below 2 Mbps are floored to the smallest encodable step
(exp = 0, mantissa = 0).
