ravb: Unify Rx ring maintenance code paths
The R-Car and RZ/G2L Rx code paths were split in two separate implementations when support for RZ/G2L was added due to the fact that R-Car uses the extended descriptor format while RZ/G2L uses normal descriptors. This has led to a duplication of Rx logic with the only difference being the different Rx descriptors types used. The implementation however neglects to take into account that extended descriptors are normal descriptors with additional metadata at the end to carry hardware timestamp information. The hardware timestamp information is only consumed in the R-Car Rx loop and all the maintenance code around the Rx ring can be shared between the two implementations if the difference in descriptor length is carefully considered. This change merges the two implementations for Rx ring maintenance by adding a method to access both types of descriptors as normal descriptors, as this part covers all the fields needed for Rx ring maintenance the only difference between using normal or extended descriptor is the size of the memory region to allocate/free and the step size between each descriptor in the ring.
