Subject: [PATCH 3.16 148/294] r8169: Do not increment tx_dropped in TX
 ring cleaning

3.16.50-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@...il.com>

commit 1089650d8837095f63e001bbf14d7b48043d67ad upstream.

rtl8169_tx_clear_range() is responsible for cleaning up the TX ring
during interface shutdown, incrementing tx_dropped for every SKB that we
left at the time in the ring is misleading.

Fixes: cac4b22f3d6a ("r8169: do not account fragments as packets")
