hw/net/xilinx_axienet: Don't write checksums off end of packet
The xilinx_axienet device has ethernet checksum offloading, with a
mode where the guest provides the offsets within the packet where
the data to be checksummed starts, and where the final checksum
should be written into the packet.
We don't sanity check the TX_CSINSERT offset before writing the
checksum data into it, which means the guest can pass us a value that
is larger than the packet itself and cause us to write the checksum
off the end of the buffer. We also don't explicitly check the
TX_CSBEGIN offset; this doesn't currently cause any problems because
we will pass a negative length to net_checksum_add() which does
nothing, but it's a potential trap for the future if the type
used for the length gets changed to be unsigned.
Explicitly check the offsets. The datasheet doesn't say what happens
if the guest misprograms this, so we choose to log an error and send
the packet as-is.
