net: stmmac: TSO: Simplify the code flow of DMA descriptor allocations

The TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) engine is an optional function in
DWMAC cores, it is implemented for dwmac4 and dwxgmac2 only, ancient
dwmac100 and dwmac1000 are not supported by hardware. Current driver
code checks priv->dma_cap.tsoen which is read from MAC_HW_Feature1
register to determine if TSO is enabled in hardware configurations,
if (!priv->dma_cap.tsoen) driver never sets NETIF_F_TSO for net_device.

This patch never affects dwmac100/dwmac1000 and their stmmac_desc_ops:
ndesc_ops/enh_desc_ops, since TSO is never supported by them two.

The DMA AXI address width of DWMAC cores can be configured to
32-bit/40-bit/48-bit, then the format of DMA transmit descriptors
get a little different between 32-bit and 40-bit/48-bit.
Current driver code checks priv->dma_cap.addr64 to use certain format
with certain configuration.

This patch converts the format of DMA transmit descriptors on dwmac4
and dwxgmac2 that the DMA AXI address width is configured to 32-bit (as
described by function comments of stmmac_tso_xmit() in current code) to
a more generic format (see updated function comments after this patch)
which is actually already used on 40-bit/48-bit platforms to provide
better compatibility and make code flow cleaner in TSO TX routine.

Another interesting finding, struct stmmac_desc_ops is a common abstract
interface to maintain descriptors, we should avoid the direct assignment
of descriptor members (e.g. desc->des0), stmmac_set_desc_addr() is the
proper method yet. This patch tries to improve this by the way.

Tested and verified on:
DWMAC CORE 5.00a with 32-bit DMA AXI address width
DWMAC CORE 5.10a with 32-bit DMA AXI address width
DWXGMAC CORE 3.20a with 40-bit DMA AXI address width
