[ Upstream commit 7128c834d30e6b2cf649f14d8fc274941786d0e1 ]

Currently, the function i40e_construct_skb_zc only frees the input xdp
buffer when the output skb is successfully built. On error, the
function i40e_clean_rx_irq_zc does not commit anything for the current
packet descriptor and simply exits the packet descriptor processing
loop, with the plan to restart the processing of this descriptor on
the next invocation. Therefore, on error the ring next-to-clean
pointer should not advance, the xdp i.e. *bi buffer should not be
freed and the current buffer info should not be invalidated by setting
*bi to NULL. Therefore, the *bi should only be set to NULL when the
function i40e_construct_skb_zc is successful, otherwise a NULL *bi
will be dereferenced when the work for the current descriptor is
eventually restarted.
