Subject: [PATCH net] net/mlx4_en: fix spurious timestamping callbacks

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

When multiple skb are TX-completed in a row, we might incorrectly keep
a timestamp of a prior skb and cause extra work.

Fixes: ec693d47010e8 ("net/mlx4_en: Add HW timestamping (TS) support")
