PATCH 1/1 spapr-vlan: Don't touch last entry in buffer list

The last 8 bytes of the buffer list is defined to contain the number of dropped frames. At the moment we use it to store rx entries, which trips up ethtool -S:

rx_no_buffer: 9223380832981355136

Fix this by skipping the last buffer list entry.

Huh. I obviously missed that bit of the llan spec in PAPR.

Thanks, applied to ppc-next.
