Marek Behún 7b31c2e9ed kernel: Backport mvneta crash fix to 5.15
Backport Russell King's series [1]
  net: mvneta: reduce size of TSO header allocation
to pending-5.15 to fix random crashes on Turris Omnia.

This also backports two patches that are dependencies to this series:
  net: mvneta: Delete unused variable
  net: mvneta: fix potential double-frees in mvneta_txq_sw_deinit()

Subject: [PATCH] net: mvneta: fix potential double-frees in
mvneta_txq_sw_deinit()
Reported on the Turris forum, mvneta provokes kernel warnings in the
architecture DMA mapping code when mvneta_setup_txqs() fails to
allocate memory. This happens because when mvneta_cleanup_txqs() is
called in the mvneta_stop() path, we leave pointers in the structure
that have been freed.
Then on mvneta_open(), we call mvneta_setup_txqs(), which starts
allocating memory. On memory allocation failure, mvneta_cleanup_txqs()
will walk all the queues freeing any non-NULL pointers - which includes
pointers that were previously freed in mvneta_stop().
Fix this by setting these pointers to NULL to prevent double-freeing
of the same memory.
