[PATCH] net: dwc-xlgmac: set skb to NULL after freeing it

[Pan Bian]

The buffer skb is freed via dev_kfree_skb in a loop. After freeing skb,
the value of packet_count is updated via packet_count++. If packet_count
happens to equal the upper bound (i.e., budget), the loop will be broken
and skb may be assigned to desc_data->state.skb. Resulting that
desc_data->state.skb may point to a freed memory chunk. To fix this, the
patch sets skb to NULL after dev_kfree_skb(skb).
