Previous patches cleared the pointer to the SKB, but did not
clear the DMA addresses.  This patch moves the clear logic into
a method and makes sure that the DMA addresses are cleared as well.

This does not obviously fix any bug, but may make it harder to
cause bugs in the future.

I wanted to follow up to see if there was any interest in this patch,
as it received no comment and has not been accepted upstream.

I'd rather not introduce code unless you know
for sure its doing something useful.

I don't think it makes any real difference, so we can just drop it.

Thanks,
Ben
