Subject: sfc: pass valid pointers from efx_enqueue_unwind

From: Bert Kenward <bkenward@solarflare.com>


[ Upstream commit d4a7a8893d4cdbc89d79ac4aa704bf8d4b67b368 ]

The bytes_compl and pkts_compl pointers passed to efx_dequeue_buffers
cannot be NULL. Add a paranoid warning to check this condition and fix
the one case where they were NULL.

efx_enqueue_unwind() is called very rarely, during error handling.
Without this fix it would fail with a NULL pointer dereference in
efx_dequeue_buffer, with efx_enqueue_skb in the call stack.
