fec: fix FEC driver packet transmission breakage

Commit f0b3fbeae11a526c3d308b691684589ee37c359b breaks transmission of
packets where the skb data buffer is not memory aligned according to
FEC_ALIGNMENT. It incorrectly passes to dma_sync_single() the buffer
address directly from the skb, instead of the address calculated for
use (which may be the skb address or one of the bounce buffers).

It seems there is no use converting the cpu address of the buffer to
a physical either, since dma_map_single() expects the cpu address and
will return the dma address to use in the descriptor. So remove the use
of __pa() on the buffer address as well.

This patch is against 2.6.30-rc5. This breakage is a regression over
2.6.30, which does not have this problem.
