The situation is slightly different in enetc_map_tx_buffs(), the count
may be 0 when the error occurs. But in enetc_lso_hw_offload(), the
count will not be 0 when the error occurs.

I think there is no such problem in enetc_map_tx_tso_buffs(),
because the index 'i' has been increased before the error occurs,
but the count is not increased, so the actual 'count' is count + 1.
