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

net/mlx5e: Fix DMA FIFO desync on error CQE SQ recovery

In case of a TX error CQE, a recovery flow is triggered,

mlx5e_reset_txqsq_cc_pc() resets dma_fifo_cc to 0 but not dma_fifo_pc,

desyncing the DMA FIFO producer and consumer.

After recovery, the producer pushes new DMA entries at the old

dma_fifo_pc, while the consumer reads from position 0.

This causes us to unmap stale DMA addresses from before the recovery.

The DMA FIFO is a purely software construct with no HW counterpart.

At the point of reset, all WQEs have been flushed so dma_fifo_cc is

already equal to dma_fifo_pc. There is no need to reset either counter,

similar to how skb_fifo pc/cc are untouched.

Remove the 'dma_fifo_cc = 0' reset.

This fixes the following WARNING:
