ixgbe: split Tx/Rx ring clearing for ethtool loopback test



Commit: fed21bcee7a5
("ixgbe: Don't bother clearing buffer memory for descriptor rings)

exposed some issues with the logic in the current implementation of
ixgbe_clean_test_rings() that are being addressed in this patch:

- Split the clearing of the Tx and Rx rings in separate loops. Previously
both Tx and Rx rings were cleared in a rx_desc->wb.upper.length based
loop which could lead to issues if for w/e reason packets were received
outside of the frames transmitted for the loopback test.

- Add check for IXGBE_TXD_STAT_DD to avoid clearing the rings if the
transmits have not comlpeted by the time we enter ixgbe_clean_test_rings()

- Exit early on ixgbe_check_lbtest_frame() failure.

This change fixes a crash during ethtool diagnostic (ethtool -t).
