netdev: bfin_mac: fix malformed UDP packet transmission when polling with KGDB
Writes to the DMA descriptors may sit in the internal Blackfin data buffers and not actually be available when the DMA engine goes to fetch them. This does not typically happen, but when dealing with short/fast packets such as UDP and polling KGDB, this occurs much more frequently. Same goes for heavy loads as seen by netperf tests or large scp transfers. So force the buffers to drain with SSYNC otherwise we get random malformed packets.
