[PATCH net] sfc: pass valid pointers from efx_enqueue_unwind

[PATCH net] sfc: pass valid pointers from efx_enqueue_unwind

[Bert Kenward]

The bytes_compl and pkts_compl pointers passed to efx_dequeue_buffers
cannot be NULL. Add a paranoid warning to check this condition and fix
the one case where they were NULL.

efx_enqueue_unwind() is called very rarely, during error handling.
Without this fix it would fail with a NULL pointer dereference in
efx_dequeue_buffer, with efx_enqueue_skb in the call stack.

Fixes: e9117e5099ea ("sfc: Firmware-Assisted TSO version 2")

I didn't have the warn, but the rest is identical to what I did locally 
to get around this when I was hitting it.

Applied and queued up for -stable, thanks.
