Subject: sfc: on MC reset, clear PIO buffer linkage in TXQs

From: Edward Cree <redacted>

[ Upstream commit c0795bf64cba4d1b796fdc5b74b33772841ed1bb ]

Otherwise, if we fail to allocate new PIO buffers, our TXQs will try to
use the old ones, which aren't there any more.

Fixes: 183233bec810 "sfc: Allocate and link PIO buffers; map them with write-combining"
