Description:  qdio: reset old sbal_state flags

Symptom:      af_iucv socket using HiperSockets may stall.

Problem:      When allocating a new AOB fails, handle_outbound() is
              still capable of transmitting the selected buffer
              (just without async completion).
              But if a previous transfer on this queue slot used
              async completion, its sbal_state flags field is still set
              to QDIO_OUTBUF_STATE_FLAG_PENDING.
              So when the upper layer driver sees this stale flag, it
              expects an async completion that never happens.

Solution:     Unconditionally clear the buffer's flags field.

Reproduction: Error inject, simulating out-of-memory.
