Recently we encountered an OOB write issue on BCM957414A4142CC with outbox
NetXtreme-E-235.1.160.0 driver from broadcom. After a litte research,
we found the inbox driver from upstream maybe have the same issue.
The commit ef56081d1864 ("RDMA/bnxt_re: RoCE related hardware counters
update") introduced 3 counters, and appended after BNXT_RE_OUT_OF_SEQ_ERR.
However, BNXT_RE_OUT_OF_SEQ_ERR serves as a boundary marker for allocating
hw stats with different num_counters for chip_gen_p5_p7 hardware.
For BNXT_RE_NUM_STD_COUNTERS allocated hw_stats, leading to an
out-of-bounds write in bnxt_re_copy_err_stats().
It seems like that the BNXT_RE_REQ_CQE_ERROR, BNXT_RE_RESP_CQE_ERROR,
and BNXT_RE_RESP_REMOTE_ACCESS_ERRS can be updated for generic hardware,
not only for p5/p7 hardware.
Fix this by moving them before BNXT_RE_OUT_OF_SEQ_ERR so they become
part of the generic counter.
Compile tested only.
