Refactor the code for inserting an empty frame into a new function igc_insert_empty_frame(). This change extracts the logic for inserting an empty packet from igc_xmit_frame_ring() into a separate function, allowing it to be reused in future implementations, such as the XDP zero copy transmit function.
Remove the igc_desc_unused() checking in igc_init_tx_empty_descriptor() because the number of descriptors needed is guaranteed.
Ensure that skb allocation and DMA mapping work for the empty frame, before proceeding to fill in igc_tx_buffer info, context descriptor, and data descriptor.
Rate limit the error messages for skb allocation and DMA mapping failures.
Update the comment to indicate that the 2 descriptors needed by the empty frame are already taken into consideration in igc_xmit_frame_ring().
Handle the case where the insertion of an empty frame fails and explain the reason behind this handling.
