The dedicated hardware timestamp RX queue is allocated with q->index
equal to lif->ionic->nrxqs_per_lif. The normal txqcqs array only
contains the regular queue pairs, so using that index to set rxq->partner
can read one entry past txqcqs[] and then write through the derived
pointer.
Only link RX/TX partners for normal queue-pair indexes. Leave the hwstamp
RX queue unpaired, and make the XDP_TX path abort cleanly if an RX queue
has no TX partner.

v3:
  Use dev_err() and return -ENXIO for a missing normal TX partner.

v2:
  Correct the Fixes tag.
