[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH net v1 1/2] iavf: Fix handling of dummy receive descriptors

[Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com>]

From: Przemyslaw Patynowski <przemyslawx.patynowski@intel.com>

Fix memory leak caused by not handling dummy receive descriptor properly.
iavf_get_rx_buffer now sets the rx_buffer return value for dummy receive
descriptors. Without this patch, when the hardware writes a dummy
descriptor, iavf would not free the page allocated for the previous receive
buffer. This is an unlikely event but can still happen.

[Jesse: massaged commit message]

Fixes: efa14c398582 ("iavf: allow null RX descriptors")
