net/mlx5e: Preserve shared buffer capacity during headroom updates
When port buffer headroom changes, port_update_shared_buffer()
recalculates the shared buffer size and splits it in a 3:1 ratio
(lossy:lossless) - Currently, the calculation is:
lossless = shared / 4;
lossy = (shared / 4) * 3;
Meaning, the calculation dropped the remainder of shared % 4 due to
integer division, unintentionally reducing the total shared buffer
by up to three cells on each update. Over time, this could shrink
the buffer below usable size.
Fix it by changing the calculation to:
lossless = shared / 4;
lossy = shared - lossless;
This retains all buffer cells while still approximating the
intended 3:1 split, preventing capacity loss over time.
While at it, perform headroom calculations in units of cells rather than
in bytes for more accurate calculations avoiding extra divisions.
