pxad_alloc_desc() was converted from
kzalloc(struct_size(sw_desc, hw_desc, nb_hw_desc), GFP_NOWAIT)
to kzalloc_flex(). hw_desc[] is annotated with __counted_by(nb_desc), so
__alloc_flex() now initializes sw_desc->nb_desc to nb_hw_desc itself.
The loop below it still increments nb_desc for every descriptor it
allocates though, so nb_desc ends up being twice the number of
descriptors that are actually there.
Drop the now redundant increment. The error path has to set nb_desc to
the number of descriptors allocated so far, otherwise pxad_free_desc()
would free entries that were never allocated.
Fixes: 69050f8d6d075 ("treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for
non-scalar types")
