Enabling the RX Buffer Unavailable (RBUE) interrupt is counterproductive
and can trigger a MAC interrupt storm under heavy RX pressure. When the
DMA runs out of RX descriptors it fires RBUE continuously until software
refills the ring.

However, RBUE is redundant: the normal RX completion interrupt (RIE)
already triggers NAPI, which processes completed descriptors and refills
the ring, causing the DMA to resume. The RBUE handler itself only sets
handle_rx - the same outcome as RIE.

On Agilex5 under heavy RX pressure, the MAC interrupt (which includes
RBUE) was observed firing 1,821,811,555 times against only 2,618,627
actual RX completions - a ~695x ratio - confirming the severity of the
storm.

Note: as a consequence of disabling RBUE, the rx_buf_unav_irq ethtool
counter will always read 0 on XGMAC2 devices. This behaviour is already
inconsistent across DWMAC core versions.

Remove RBUE from XGMAC_DMA_INT_DEFAULT_EN and XGMAC_DMA_INT_DEFAULT_RX
to prevent the interrupt storm while keeping normal RX handling intact.
