net: stmmac: remove rx_tail_addr

There is only one place where rx_q->rx_tail_addr is used - the new
stmmac_set_queue_rx_tail_ptr(). Make this a local variable and remove
it from struct stmmac_rx_queue.

This commit does not change the semantics - the hardware relies upon
the descriptor ring not crossing a 4GiB boundary as the high address
bits are programmed into a separate register via stmmac_init_rx_chan().
Hence, truncating the DMA address to 32-bit is fine as the register it
will be programmed into is 32-bit, and the high bits are handled
elsewhere.
