can: mcp251xfd: rx: prepare to workaround broken RX FIFO head index erratum

This is a preparatory patch to work around erratum DS80000789E 6 of
the mcp2518fd, the other variants of the chip family (mcp2517fd and
mcp251863) are probably also affected.

When handling the RX interrupt, the driver iterates over all pending
FIFOs (which are implemented as ring buffers in hardware) and reads
the FIFO header index from the RX FIFO STA register of the chip.

In the bad case, the driver reads a too large head index. In the
original code, the driver always trusted the read value, which caused
old CAN frames that were already processed, or new, incompletely
written CAN frames to be (re-)processed.

Instead of reading and trusting the head index, read the head index
and calculate the number of CAN frames that were supposedly received -
replace mcp251xfd_rx_ring_update() with mcp251xfd_get_rx_len().

The mcp251xfd_handle_rxif_ring() function reads the received CAN
frames from the chip, iterates over them and pushes them into the
network stack. Prepare that the iteration can be stopped if an old CAN
frame is detected. The actual code to detect old or incomplete frames
and abort will be added in the next patch.
