net: macb: DMA race condition fixes

Here are a couple of race condition fixes for the macb driver. The first
two are for issues observed at runtime on real HW.

v2:
- added received Tested-bys and Acked-bys to the first two patches
- in patch 3/3, moved the timestamp protection barrier closer to the
  timestamp reads
- in patch 3/3, removed unnecessary move of the addr assignment in
  gem_rx() to keep the patch minimal for maximum clarity
- in patch 3/3, clarified commit message and comments

The 3/3 is the same one I improperly sent last week as a standalone
patch.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
