CVE-2021-47302 — igc: Fix use-after-free error during reset

Affected: Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

igc: Fix use-after-free error during reset

Cleans the next descriptor to watch (next_to_watch) when cleaning the TX ring.

Failure to do so can cause invalid memory accesses. If igc_poll() runs while the controller is being reset this can lead to the driver try to free a skb that was already freed.
