sunvnet: improve error handling when a remote crashes
If a remote machine crashes while there are pending transmit buffers, the sunvnet driver reallocates the ring descriptors giving us enries that have state VIO_DESC_FREE but also an allocated skb. This results in a BUG_ON() call when the remote reboots and we reach that point in the ring. This patch: 1) clears pending tx packets in the ring on port reset 2) changes a BUG_ON() to a pr_warn() when a remote host has given us an invalid descriptor state 3) collapses multiple active buffer frees in a ring to a single message per ring and adds the device name and remote MAC address This fixes the particular problem of not cleaning up pending buffers on a reset, but also prevents us from crashing if the remote handles descriptors out of order or sets an unexpected state for a descriptor.
