Fix possible skb_over_panic event in Freescale's "gianfar" driver.

The skb_over_panic occurs due to calling skb_put() within
gfar_clean_rx_ring(). This happens if (and only if) shortly prior to the
event and a few lined above the skb_put(), an skb was queued back to the
priv->rx_recycle queue due to RXBD_LAST or RXBD_ERR status.
The skb is queued without properly re-setting its state.

The patch properly reset the skb state.

I have tested this patch on MPC8548 based product and asserted it avoided the skb_over_panic event.
