[Bionic PATCH 09/19] ibmvnic: Ensure that buffers are NULL after free

[Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo]

From: Thomas Falcon <tlfalcon at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1748517

This change will guard against a double free in the case that the
buffers were previously freed at some other time, such as during
a device reset. It resolves a kernel oops that occurred when changing
the VNIC device's MTU.
