[Intel-wired-lan] [jkirsher/net-queue PATCH] i40e: Fix memory leak related filter programming status

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck at intel.com>

It looks like we weren't correctly placing the pages from buffers that had
been used to return a filter programming status back on the ring. As a
result they were being overwritten and tracking of the pages was lost.

This change works to correct that by incorporating part of
i40e_put_rx_buffer into the programming status handler code. As a result we
should now be correctly placing the pages for those buffers on the
re-allocation list instead of letting them stay in place.

Fixes: 0e626ff7ccbf ("i40e: Fix support for flow director programming status")

I'm submitting this for Jeff's net queue to undergo some additional testing
before being submitted for net or stable to address the memory leak isue. The
testing for this should be pretty straight forward since ATR filters seem
to cause the issue it should be possible to trigger a pretty signficant
amount of memory loss running something like a netperf TCP_CRR test for an
extended period of time which will trigger multiple socket
creation/destruction.

Anders, feel free to test this patch. If you need to grab a copy of the
diff instead of trying to work with applying the patch through email you
should be able to find a copy at the following URL shortly after I submit
this to intel-wired-lan:
