Subject: [PATCH v2] idpf: increment completion queue next_to_clean in sw
 marker wait routine

Currently, in idpf_wait_for_sw_marker_completion(), when an
IDPF_TXD_COMPLT_SW_MARKER packet is found, the routine breaks out of
the for loop and does not increment the next_to_clean counter. This
causes the subsequent NAPI polls to run into the same
IDPF_TXD_COMPLT_SW_MARKER packet again and print out the following:

    [   23.261341] idpf 0000:05:00.0 eth1: Unknown TX completion type: 5

Instead, we should increment next_to_clean regardless when an
IDPF_TXD_COMPLT_SW_MARKER packet is found.

Tested: with the patch applied, we do not see the errors above from NAPI
polls anymore.

Changes in v2:
 - Initialize idpf_tx_queue *target to NULL to suppress the "'target'
   uninitialized when 'if' statement is true warning".
