[ Upstream commit 36fb7435b6ac4d288a2d4deea8934f9456ab46b6 ]

The mvpp2_txq_bufs_free() function is called upon TX completion to DMA
unmap TX buffers, and free the corresponding SKBs. It gets the
references to the SKB to free and the DMA buffer to unmap from a per-CPU
txq_pcpu data structure.

However, the code currently increments the pointer to the next entry
before doing the DMA unmap and freeing the SKB. It does not cause any
visible problem because for a given SKB the TX completion is guaranteed
to take place on the CPU where the TX was started. However, it is much
more logical to increment the pointer to the next entry once the current
entry has been completely unmapped/released.
