For free buffer in ixgbe driver, it is unnecessary to store 'NULL' into
txep.mbuf. This is because when putting mbuf into Tx queue, tx_tail is
the sentinel. And when doing tx_free, tx_next_dd is the sentinel. In all
processes, mbuf==NULL is not a condition in check. Thus reset of mbuf is
unnecessary and can be omitted.
