net: mscc: ocelot: fix stats region batching

Browse source 
The blamed commit changed struct ocelot_stat_layout :: "u32 offset" to
"u32 reg".

However, "u32 reg" is not quite a register address, but an enum
ocelot_reg, which in itself encodes an enum ocelot_target target in the
upper bits, and an index into the ocelot->map[target][] array in the
lower bits.

So, whereas the previous code comparison between stats_layout[i].offset
and last + 1 was correct (because those "offsets" at the time were
32-bit relative addresses), the new code, comparing layout[i].reg to
last + 4 is not correct, because the "reg" here is an enum/index, not an
actual register address.

What we want to compare are indeed register addresses, but to do that,
we need to actually go through the same motions as
__ocelot_bulk_read_ix() itself.

With this bug, all statistics counters are deemed by
ocelot_prepare_stats_regions() as constituting their own region.
(Truncated) log on VSC9959 (Felix) below (prints added by me):

Before:

region of 1 contiguous counters starting with SYS:STAT:CNT[0x000]
region of 1 contiguous counters starting with SYS:STAT:CNT[0x001]
region of 1 contiguous counters starting with SYS:STAT:CNT[0x002]
...
region of 1 contiguous counters starting with SYS:STAT:CNT[0x041]
region of 1 contiguous counters starting with SYS:STAT:CNT[0x042]
region of 1 contiguous counters starting with SYS:STAT:CNT[0x080]
region of 1 contiguous counters starting with SYS:STAT:CNT[0x081]
...
region of 1 contiguous counters starting with SYS:STAT:CNT[0x0ac]
region of 1 contiguous counters starting with SYS:STAT:CNT[0x100]
region of 1 contiguous counters starting with SYS:STAT:CNT[0x101]
...
region of 1 contiguous counters starting with SYS:STAT:CNT[0x111]

After:

region of 67 contiguous counters starting with SYS:STAT:CNT[0x000]
region of 45 contiguous counters starting with SYS:STAT:CNT[0x080]
region of 18 contiguous counters starting with SYS:STAT:CNT[0x100]

Since commit d87b1c08f3 ("net: mscc: ocelot: use bulk reads for
stats") intended bulking as a performance improvement, and since now,
with trivial-sized regions, performance is even worse than without
bulking at all, this could easily qualify as a performance regression.
