The issue seems similar to commit 90b3b339364c ("net: hisilicon: Fix a BUG
trigered by wrong bytes_compl") and potentially introduced by commit
b38c83dd0866 ("bgmac: simplify tx ring index handling").

If there is an RX interrupt between setting ring->end
and netdev_sent_queue() we can hit the BUG_ON as bgmac_dma_tx_free()
can miscalculate the queue size while called from bgmac_poll().

The machine which triggered the BUG runs a v4.14 RT kernel - but the issue
seems present in mainline too.
