net: usb: lan78xx: fix silent drop of packets with checksum errors
Do not drop packets with checksum errors at the USB driver level; pass them to the network stack. Previously, the driver dropped all packets where the 'Receive Error Detected' (RED) bit was set, regardless of the specific error type. This caused packets with only IP or TCP/UDP checksum errors to be dropped before reaching the kernel, preventing the network stack from accounting for them or performing software fallback. Add a mask for hard hardware errors to safely drop genuinely corrupt frames, while allowing checksum-errored frames to pass with their ip_summed field explicitly set to CHECKSUM_NONE.
