In vmxnet3_rq_alloc_rx_buf(), when dma_map_single() fails, rbi->skb is
freed immediately. Similarly, in another branch, when dma_map_page() fails,
rbi->page is also freed. In the two cases, vmxnet3_rq_alloc_rx_buf()
returns an error to its callers vmxnet3_rq_init() -> vmxnet3_rq_init_all()
-> vmxnet3_activate_dev(). Then vmxnet3_activate_dev() calls
vmxnet3_rq_cleanup_all() in error handling code, and rbi->skb or rbi->page
are freed again in vmxnet3_rq_cleanup_all(), causing use-after-free bugs.

To fix these possible bugs, rbi->skb and rbi->page should be cleared after
they are freed.

The error log in our fault-injection testing is shown as follows:
