Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the

needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Subject: [PATCH] net/ena: flush Rx buffers memory pool cache

[ upstream commit 4387e81c94f4702ec2eb2037df2bfa19927309d7 ]

As the refill called as part of ena_start(), we end up the refill
progress with stuck buffers at the caller core cache.

Calling to flush the cache results with invalidate this cache and free
those stuck buffers.

Fixes: 1173fca25af9 ("ena: add polling-mode driver")
