ibmvnic: clean pending indirect buffs during reset
We batch subordinate command response queue (scrq) descriptors that we need to send to the VIOS using an "indirect" buffer. If after we queue one or more scrqs in the indirect buffer encounter an error (say fail to allocate an skb), we leave the queued scrq descriptors in the indirect buffer until the next call to ibmvnic_xmit(). On the next call to ibmvnic_xmit(), it is possible that the adapter is going through a reset and it is possible that the long term buffers have been unmapped on the VIOS side. If we proceed to flush (send) the packets that are in the indirect buffer, we will end up using the old map ids and this can cause the VIOS to trigger an unnecessary FATAL error reset. Instead of flushing packets remaining on the indirect_buff, discard (clean) them instead.
