hw/net/ftgmac100: Improve DMA error handling
Currently, DMA memory operation errors in the ftgmac100 model are not
all tested and this can lead to a guest-triggerable denial of service
as described in https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/work_items/3335.
To fix this, check the return value of ftgmac100_write_bd() in the TX
path and exit the TX loop on error to prevent further processing. In
the event of a DMA error, also set FTGMAC100_INT_AHB_ERR interrupt
flag as appropriate.
The FTGMAC100_INT_AHB_ERR interrupt status bit only applies to the
AST2400 SoC; on newer Aspeed SoCs, it is a reserved bit.
Nevertheless, since it is supported by the Linux driver and it should
be safe to use in the QEMU implementation across all SoCs.
