hw/net/spapr_llan: Provide counter with dropped rx frames to the guest

The last 8 bytes of the receive buffer list page (that has been supplied
by the guest with the H_REGISTER_LOGICAL_LAN call) contain a counter
for frames that have been dropped because there was no suitable receive
buffer available. This patch introduces code to use this field to
provide the information about dropped rx packets to the guest.
There it can be queried with "ethtool -S eth0 | grep rx_no_buffer".
