gianfar: fix BUG under load after introduction of skb recycling 

Since commit 0fd56bb5be ("gianfar:
Add support for skb recycling"), gianfar puts skbuffs that are in
the rx ring back onto the recycle list as-is in case there was a
receive error, but this breaks the following invariant: that all
skbuffs on the recycle list have skb->data = skb->head + NET_SKB_PAD.

The RXBUF_ALIGNMENT realignment done in gfar_new_skb() will be done
twice on skbuffs recycled in this way, causing there not to be enough
room in the skb anymore to receive a full packet, eventually leading
to an skb_over_panic from gfar_clean_rx_ring() -> skb_put().

Resetting the skb->data pointer to skb->head + NET_SKB_PAD before
putting the skb back onto the recycle list restores the mentioned
invariant, and should fix this issue.
