[PATCH] net/mana: fix CQE suppression handling on error completions

On error CQEs (e.g. SA_DROP), the hardware generates one CQE per WQE
regardless of the suppression flag. The previous code honored the
suppress_tx_cqe flag unconditionally, which caused it to skip reading
error CQEs and misalign the CQ consumer index.

This misalignment causes subsequent completions to be misinterpreted:
valid CQEs are read at wrong offsets, leading to spurious error
counts, NULL packet frees, and potential use-after-free of mbufs
that were already completed.

Check the CQE type before honoring suppression: only skip CQE reading
when the completion is CQE_TX_OKAY.
