When the HW Rx ring is fully refilled, i.e. no packets has been processed, the next_to_use will be next_to_clean - 1. When the ring is fully processed next_to_clean will be equal to next_to_use. The latter case is where a bug is triggered. If the next_to_use bits are not cleared, and the "fully processed" state is entered, a stale descriptor can be processed. The skb-path correctly clear the status bit for the next_to_use descriptor, but the AF_XDP zero-copy path did not do that. This change adds the status bits clearing of the next_to_use descriptor.
