can: error: specify the values of data[5..7] of CAN error frames

Browse Source 
[ Upstream commit e70a3263a7eed768d5f947b8f2aff8d2a79c9d97 ]

Currently, data[5..7] of struct can_frame, when used as a CAN error
frame, are defined as being "controller specific". Device specific
behaviours are problematic because it prevents someone from writing
code which is portable between devices.

As a matter of fact, data[5] is never used, data[6] is always used to
report TX error counter and data[7] is always used to report RX error
counter. can-utils also relies on this.

This patch updates the comment in the uapi header to specify that
data[5] is reserved (and thus should not be used) and that data[6..7]
are used for error counters.

Fixes: 0d66548a10 ("[CAN]: Add PF_CAN core module")
