net/macb: clean up ring buffer logic
Instead of masking head and tail every time we increment them, just let them
wrap through UINT_MAX and mask them when subscripting. Add simple accessor
functions to do the subscripting properly to minimize the chances of messing
this up.
This makes the code slightly smaller, and hopefully faster as well. Also,
doing the ring buffer management this way will simplify things a lot when
making the ring sizes configurable in the future.
