[PATCH] net/mana: fix RX mempool leak on port stop

The RX descriptor ring drain loop in mana_stop_rx_queues() uses
'while (tail != head)' to free posted mbufs. The RX ring is likely
completely full because every consumed WQE is immediately replenished,
so head == tail when the ring is full. The drain loop never executes,
leaking all RX mbufs on every port stop.

Fix by adding a desc_ring_len counter to mana_rxq (matching mana_txq)
and using 'while (desc_ring_len > 0)' as the drain condition. Apply
the same change to the TX drain loop for consistency.
