Subject: rt2x00: rt2800: fix zeroing skb structure
From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgrus...@redhat.com>
commit b52398b6e4522176dd125722c72c301015d24520 upstream.
We should clear skb->data not skb itself. Bug was introduced by:
commit 0b8004aa12d13ec750d102ba4082a95f0107c649 "rt2x00: Properly
reserve room for descriptors in skbs".
