Subject: [PATCH 3.16 138/294] net: systemport: Be drop monitor friendly

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

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

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

commit c45182eb967af11e9482168be5be41aa22e5d321 upstream.

Utilize dev_consume_skb_any(cb->skb) in bcm_sysport_free_cb() which is
used when a TX packet is completed, as well as when the RX ring is
cleaned on shutdown. None of these two cases are packet drops, so be
drop monitor friendly.
