[PATCH net v5 6/6] bnxt_en: Bound SW TPA IDs to prevent crashes

FW supports up to 1024 concurrent TPAs, so the FW TPA ID is in the range
0..1023 (see commit ec4d8e7cf024 ("bnxt_en: Add TPA ID mapping logic for
57500 chips.")). bnxt_alloc_agg_idx is intended to wrap the FW ID down to a
software ID which is used to index rxr->rx_tpa, and to generate a mapping
between FW IDs and the wrapped software ID.
On a 57608 with firmware version 233, the firmware advertises 32
concurrent TPAs. As of the commit under fixes, bp->max_tpa on this NIC
is set to 32.
If the software ID from bnxt_alloc_agg_idx is above 31, this results in
an invalid address being loaded on this line:
tpa_info = &rxr->rx_tpa[agg_id];
because rx_tpa is allocated with only bp->max_tpa (32) entries. Writes
to tpa_info later in the code are out of bounds.
This bug results in a crash at boot:

This stack trace is from a crash triggered when an out of bounds rx_tpa
is dereferenced. The invalid write mentioned above is silent in this
particular crash.
Fix this by allocating rx_tpa with bp->max_tpa rounded up to the next
power of 2 (bp->max_tpa_roundup_size) entries and masking the FW TPA ID
with that size, so the wrapped ID can never index past the end of the
array.
Fixes: 54c28fab2fa5 ("bnxt_en: Set bp->max_tpa according to what the FW supports")

v5:
- Updated the commit message to mention where the 0..1023 range comes from.
- Updated the comment in the code now that a previous commit in this series
addresses the LRO issue.
v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260828190900.1767611-1-joe@dama.to/ (local)
- Moved bp->max_tpa_roundup_size init out of the early return path and
documented that TPA is unsupported there, as suggested by Michael.
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260827185700.2157164-1-joe@dama.to/ (local)
- Addressed an issue Sashiko pointed out, where max_tpa_roundup_size may be
left unset if bnxt_alloc_tpa_info returns early, which would lead to out
of bounds access.
- The other pre-existing issues Sashiko pointed out are unrelated to this
patch and would need different Fixes tags, so they are better served with
separate patches in the future.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260825001842.2501798-1-joe@dama.to/ (local)
- Followed Michael's suggestion on the v1 to increase the size of the tpa
array so that wrapping indexes into the array is a simple mask.
- Add Suggested-by because the approach was suggested by Michael.
- Add a Reported-by so that Raphael gets credit for reporting this bug.
- Boot tested on a machine with a 57608 and the crash did not reproduce.
