Subject: [NET-NEXT PATCH] ixgb: fix bug when freeing resources

From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@...el.com>

It was pointed out by Breno Leitao <leitao@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> that
ixgb would crash on PPC when an IOMMU was in use, if change_mtu was
called.

It appears to be a pretty simple issue in the driver that wasn't discovered
because most systems don't run with an IOMMU.  The driver needs to only unmap
buffers that are mapped (duh).
