net: libwx: fix the using of Rx buffer DMA

The wx_rx_buffer structure contained two DMA address fields: dma and page_dma. However, only page_dma was actually initialized and used to program the Rx descriptor. But dma was uninitialized and used in some paths.

This could lead to undefined behavior, including DMA errors or use-after-free, if the uninitialized dma was used. Althrough such error has not yet occurred, it is worth fixing in the code.
