Subject: [PATCH 5.4 39/87] iavf: Fix handling of dummy receive descriptors

From: Przemyslaw Patynowski <przemyslawx.patynowski@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit a9f49e0060301a9bfebeca76739158d0cf91cdf6 ]

Fix memory leak caused by not handling dummy receive descriptor properly.
iavf_get_rx_buffer now sets the rx_buffer return value for dummy receive
descriptors. Without this patch, when the hardware writes a dummy
descriptor, iavf would not free the page allocated for the previous receive
buffer. This is an unlikely event but can still happen.

[Jesse: massaged commit message]
