[net-next,v2,0/2] lib8390: Remove custom padding solution

Message

When padding undersized frames, lib8390.c utilizes a stack scratch area
plus memset/memcpy. In doing so, it is overwriting content already
zeroed with memset, which seems not optimal even when commented as
being more efficient. Using eth_skb_pad() allows us to remove
memset/memcpy and the stack scratch area altogether.

v2 changes:
- split cleanup of variables in seperate patch
- revise commit description

  lib8390: Use eth_skb_pad()
