Subject: net: ntb_netdev: Avoid double-accounting netif_rx() drops

From: Koichiro Den <den@valinux.co.jp>

commit 82e15be2d8b9efa6fb1750528d9b6f40e6a8eea7 upstream.

netif_rx() already accounts packets it drops in the core rx_dropped
counter. ntb_netdev counts them again as both errors and drops.

Leave netif_rx() drops to the core. Count the packet and bytes
unconditionally since it was received successfully by the driver.
