Eric Dumazet noticed that if we encounter an error when processing a mergeable buffer, we don't dequeue all of the buffers from this packet, the result is almost sure to be loss of networking. Jason Wang noticed that we also leak a page and that we don't decrement the rq buf count, so we won't repost buffers (a resource leak). Fix both issues.
