[PATCH V2] amd-xgbe: 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 budget, the loop will be broken and skb 
may be assigned to rdata->state.skb. Resulting that rdata->state.skb may
point to a freed memory chunk. To fix this, the patch sets skb to NULL 
after dev_kfree_skb(skb).
