Subject: ixgbe: fix crash in build_skb Rx code path

From: Emil Tantilov <[email protected]>

commit 0c5661ecc5dd7ce296870a3eb7b62b1b280a5e89 upstream.

Add check for build_skb enabled ring in ixgbe_dma_sync_frag(). In that case &skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[0] may not always be set which can lead to a crash. Instead we derive the page offset from skb->data.
