Fix a potential counter roll-over issue in fbnic_mbx_alloc_rx_msgs()
when calculating descriptor slots. The issue occurs when head - tail
results in a large positive value (unsigned) and the compiler interprets
head - tail - 1 as a signed value.
Since FBNIC_IPC_MBX_DESC_LEN is a power of two, use a masking operation,
which is a common way of avoiding this problem when dealing with these
sort of ring space calculations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
