net: ipa: certain dropped packets aren't accounted for
[ Upstream commit 30b338ff7998b6ed7a90815870cd5db725f87168 ]
If an RX endpoint receives packets containing status headers, and a
packet in the buffer is not dropped, ipa_endpoint_skb_copy() is
responsible for wrapping the packet data in an SKB and forwarding it
to ipa_modem_skb_rx() for further processing.
If ipa_endpoint_skb_copy() gets a null pointer from build_skb(), it
just returns early. But in the process it doesn't record that as a
dropped packet in the network device statistics.
Instead, call ipa_modem_skb_rx() whether or not the SKB pointer is
NULL; that function ensures the statistics are properly updated.
