net: ti: icssg-prueth: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference inside emac_xmit_xdp_frame()

There is an error check inside emac_xmit_xdp_frame() function which
is called when the driver wants to transmit XDP frame, to check if
the allocated tx descriptor is NULL, if true to exit and return
ICSSG_XDP_CONSUMED implying failure in transmission.

In this case trying to free a descriptor which is NULL will result
in kernel crash due to NULL pointer dereference. Fix this error handling
and increase netdev tx_dropped stats in the caller of this function
if the function returns ICSSG_XDP_CONSUMED.
