ibm_newemac: Fixes kernel crashes when speed of cable connected changes
The descriptor pointers were not initialized to NIL values, so it was poiniting to some random addresses which was completely invalid. This fix takes care of initializing the descriptor to NIL values and clearing the valid descriptors on clean ring operation.
