-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org>

patch ab5adecb2d02f3688719dfb5936a82833fcc3955 in mainline.

The D-Link PCI-X board (and maybe others) can lie about status
ring entries. It seems it will update the register for last status
index before completing the DMA for the ring entry. To avoid reading
stale data, zap the old entry and check.
