gianfar: fix BUG under load after introduction of skb recycling
Since commit 0fd56bb5be6455d0d42241e65aed057244665e5e ("gianfar: Add support for skb recycling"), gianfar puts skbuffs that are in the rx ring back onto the recycle list as-is in case there was a receive error, but this breaks the following invariant: that all skbuffs on the recycle list have skb->data = skb->head + NET_SKB_PAD. The RXBUF_ALIGNMENT realignment done in gfar_new_skb() will be done twice on skbuffs recycled in this way, causing there not to be enough room in the skb anymore to receive a full packet, eventually leading to an skb_over_panic from gfar_clean_rx_ring() -> skb_put(). Resetting the skb->data pointer to skb->head + NET_SKB_PAD before putting the skb back onto the recycle list restores the mentioned invariant, and should fix this issue.
