net: stmmac: fix the crash issue for zero copy XDP_TX action

There is a crash issue when running zero copy XDP_TX action, the crash

log is shown below.

[ 216.122464] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fffeffff80000000

[ 216.187524] Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000144 [#1] SMP

[ 216.301694] Call trace:

[ 216.408054] Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops: Fatal exception in interrupt

For XDP_TX action, the xdp_buff is converted to xdp_frame by

xdp_convert_buff_to_frame(). The memory type of the resulting xdp_frame

depends on the memory type of the xdp_buff. For page pool based xdp_buff

it produces xdp_frame with memory type MEM_TYPE_PAGE_POOL. For zero copy

XSK pool based xdp_buff it produces xdp_frame with memory type

MEM_TYPE_PAGE_ORDER0. However, stmmac_xdp_xmit_back() does not check the

memory type and always uses the page pool type, this leads to invalid

mappings and causes the crash. Therefore, check the xdp_buff memory type

in stmmac_xdp_xmit_back() to fix this issue.
