net: usb: lan78xx: fix TX byte statistics for small packets

Account for hardware auto-padding in TX byte counters to reflect actual
wire traffic.

The LAN7850 hardware automatically pads undersized frames to the minimum
Ethernet frame length (ETH_ZLEN, 60 bytes). However, the driver tracks
the network statistics based on the unpadded socket buffer length. This
results in the tx_bytes counter under-reporting the actual physical
bytes placed on the Ethernet wire for small packets (like short ARP or
ICMP requests).

Use max_t() to ensure the transmission statistics accurately account for
the hardware-generated padding.
