[PATCH 65/97] e100: Fix broken cbs accounting due to missing memset.

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Roger Oksanen <roger.oksanen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 70abc8cb90e679d8519721e2761d8366a18212a6 upstream.

Alan Stern noticed that e100 caused slab corruption.
commit 98468efddb101f8a29af974101c17ba513b07be1 changed
the allocation of cbs to use dma pools that don't return zeroed memory,
especially the cb->status field used to track which cb to clean, causing
(the visible) double freeing of skbs and a wrong free cbs count.

Now the cbs are explicitly zeroed at allocation time.
