Subject[patch 40/50] atl1: fix 4G memory corruption bug
-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------

From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>

upstream commit: aefdbf1a3b832a580a50cf3d1dcbb717be7cbdbe

When using 4+ GB RAM and SWIOTLB is active, the driver corrupts
memory by writing an skb after the relevant DMA page has been
unmapped. Although this doesn't happen when *not* using bounce
buffers, clearing the pointer to the DMA page after unmapping
it fixes the problem.
