> This patch is a partial revert of "ixgbe: Don't bother clearing buffer memory
> for descriptor rings". Specifically I messed up the exception handling path a
> bit and this resulted in us incorrectly adding the count back in when we didn't
> need to.
> 
> In order to make this simpler I am reverting most of the exception handling
> path change and instead just replacing the bit that was handled by the
> unmap_and_free call.
