mac802154: Fix LQI recording

Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=c368f751da8edfe50c31179ff084e205bcf79ea0



--------------------------------

commit 5a5c4e06 upstream.

Back in 2014, the LQI was saved in the skb control buffer (skb->cb, or
mac_cb(skb)) without any actual reset of this area prior to its use.

As part of a useful rework of the use of this region, 32edc40a
("ieee802154: change _cb handling slightly") introduced mac_cb_init() to
basically memset the cb field to 0. In particular, this new function got
called at the beginning of mac802154_parse_frame_start(), right before
the location where the buffer got actually filled.

What went through unnoticed however, is the fact that the very first
helper called by device drivers in the receive path already used this
area to save the LQI value for later extraction. Resetting the cb field
"so late" led to systematically zeroing the LQI.

If we consider the reset of the cb field needed, we can make it as soon
as we get an skb from a device driver, right before storing the LQI,
as is the very first time we need to write something there.
