Fix some longstanding bugs in Rx DMA error handling.

These two patches eliminate some conditions which would result in
DMA_MAPPING_ERROR being sent to h/w or to dma_unmap_page() or
dma_unmap_single(). A teardown leak in the packet-splitting path is also
fixed by a necessary refactor.

v2:
* Renamed series from "e1000e: fix Rx bugs"
* Removed RXALL buffer overrun fix from the series.
  RXALL bugs will be fixed in a separate series.
* Reworded patch commit messages.

Matt Vollrath (2):
  e1000e: fix Rx skb DMA map error sentinel
  e1000e: fix ps_pages DMA map error sentinel

Upon encountering a DMA_MAPPING_ERROR during skb allocation and mapping,
the driver would leave DMA_MAPPING_ERROR in the buffer_info->dma field.
This would lead several buffer_info->dma == 0 conditions down unwanted
paths:

* In e1000_alloc_jumbo_rx_buffers(), it would not re-attempt the failed
  mapping and instead write DMA_MAPPING_ERROR to the h/w descriptor on
  the next allocation call. On cleaning or teardown it would attempt to
  dma_unmap_page() DMA_MAPPING_ERROR. This case would only be
  reachable at MTU > 1518 and page size > 16K.
* In e1000_clean_rx_ring(), it would attempt to dma_unmap_page/single()
  DMA_MAPPING_ERROR (unless cleaned by the jumbo path first). This case
  would be reachable at any combination of MTU and page size.

Use buffer_info->dma = 0 as the sentinel for "DMA is not mapped." Set it
immediately upon detecting the failure.

The map error value was 0 on some platforms (including most common x86)
until error values were unified to DMA_MAPPING_ERROR in v4.20/v5.0.
Since then the error handling in this driver has been incorrect on all
platforms.

While allocating packet-split buffer pages, a failed DMA mapping would
leave DMA_MAPPING_ERROR in the ps_page->dma field.

This would have two consequences:
* The next attempt to allocate that buffer would write DMA_MAPPING_ERROR
  to h/w if all pages are allocated. If the h/w uses that buffer and is
  handling a frame large enough to touch the affected page, it would
  cause a DMA fault and be dropped. The driver would then call
  dma_unmap_page() on DMA_MAPPING_ERROR and unknowingly send the
  uninitialized page up the stack as part of the frame payload.
* On ring teardown, dma_unmap_page() would be called on
  DMA_MAPPING_ERROR.

This condition is only reachable when MTU > 1500 and PAGE_SIZE <= 16K.

Fix this by setting ps_page->dma = 0 upon mapping failure and separately
testing ->page and ->dma during allocation and teardown.

The rewrite of the ps_pages section of e1000_clean_rx_ring was necessary
to recognize the case of an allocated page without a valid DMA mapping.
It also fixes a separate bug which would potentially leak pages on ring
teardown. The cleaner stops cleaning pages when h/w reported that it did
not write to a page in the sequence, leaving the following pages
allocated and mapped. The teardown would then break early and leak the
unused mapped pages. If the ring is re-constructed by down/up with
similar configuration, it would reclaim those lost pages. This would
only affect configurations with rx_ps_pages >= 2 (MTU > PAGE_SIZE) and
the same condition of MTU > 1500 and PAGE_SIZE <= 16K.
