[lvc-project] [PATCH net] net: sunhme: fix infinite loop in unmap_partial_tx_skb()

unmap_partial_tx_skb() walks the TX ring entries between
first_entry and entry to release the DMA mappings of the
fragments that were mapped successfully before a mapping error,
but it never advances first_entry inside the loop. Whenever the
failed fragment is not the first one, entry is ahead of
first_entry and the loop condition first_entry != entry never
becomes false, so the function spins forever.

The function is called from happy_meal_start_xmit() with
hp->happy_lock held and interrupts disabled, so the infinite
loop leads to a hard lockup.

Advance first_entry with NEXT_TX() at the end of the loop body.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
