Subject: net: mvneta: eliminate wrong call to handle rx descriptor error

From: Yelena Krivosheev <[email protected]>

commit 2eecb2e04abb62ef8ea7b43e1a46bdb5b99d1bf8 upstream.

There are few reasons in mvneta_rx_swbm() function when received packet is dropped. mvneta_rx_error() should be called only if error bit [16] is set in rx descriptor.
