[PATCH net] net: stmmac: do not cache the new TSO MSS before it reaches the DMA

[Linkui Xiao <xiaolinkui@126.com>]

From: Linkui Xiao <xiaolinkui@kylinos.cn>

stmmac_tso_xmit() fills the MSS context descriptor and stores the new
MSS in tx_q->mss right away, but the descriptor only gets its OWN bit
much later, right before the frame is handed to the DMA. Every error
path in between - the dma_map_single() of the linear part and the
skb_frag_dma_map() of each fragment - returns with tx_q->mss already
updated while the MAC is still programmed with the previous MSS; the
abandoned context descriptor is later reclaimed by stmmac_tx_clean().

The next skb carrying the same MSS then compares equal to the cached
value, so no context descriptor is emitted and the hardware segments
the TCP stream with a stale MSS, generating frames whose payload size
does not match what the stack accounted for.

Only update tx_q->mss once the context descriptor has been given to the
DMA so that the cached value always describes what the hardware is
actually programmed with.
