The BUG_ON to catch ring overflow in xenvif_rx_action() makes the assumption
that meta_slots_used == ring slots used. This is not necessarily the case
for GSO packets, because the non-prefix GSO protocol consumes one more ring
slot than meta-slot for the 'extra_info'. This patch changes the test to
actually check ring slots.
