gve: Correct ethtool rx_dropped calculation

The gve driver's "rx_dropped" statistic, exposed via `ethtool -S`,
incorrectly includes `rx_buf_alloc_fail` counts. These failures
represent an inability to allocate receive buffers, not true packet
drops where a received packet is discarded. This misrepresentation can
lead to inaccurate diagnostics.

This patch rectifies the ethtool "rx_dropped" calculation. It removes
`rx_buf_alloc_fail` from the total and adds `xdp_tx_errors` and
`xdp_redirect_errors`, which represent legitimate packet drops within
the XDP path.
