[PATCH] netcp: fix regression in receive processing

A cleanup patch I did was unfortunately wrong and introduced
multiple serious bugs in the netcp rx processing, as indicated
by these correct gcc warnings:

drivers/net/ethernet/ti/netcp_core.c:776:14: warning: 'buf_ptr' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
drivers/net/ethernet/ti/netcp_core.c:687:14: warning: 'ptr' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]

I have checked the patch once more and found that a call to
get_pkt_info() accidentally got removed in netcp_free_rx_desc_chain,
and netcp_process_one_rx_packet no longer retrieved the correct
buffer length. This patch should fix all the known problems,
but I did not test on real hardware.
