Subject: net/mlx5e: Set page to null in case dma mapping fails

From: Inbar Karmy <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 2e50b2619538ea0224c037f6fa746023089e0654 ]

Currently, when dma mapping fails, put_page is called,
but the page is not set to null. Later, in the page_reuse treatment in mlx5e_free_rx_descs(), mlx5e_page_release() is called for the second time, improperly doing dma_unmap (for a non-mapped address) and an extra put_page. Prevent this by nullifying the page pointer when dma_map fails.

Fixes accd58833237 ("net/mlx5e: Introduce RX Page-Reuse")
