net: fix network driver ndo_start_xmit() return values (part 1)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Fix up drivers that return an errno value to qdisc_restart(), causing
qdisc_restart() to print a warning and requeue/retransmit the skb.

- xpnet: memory allocation error, intention is to drop
- ethoc: oversized packet, packet must be dropped
- ibmlana: skb freed: use after free
- rrunner: skb freed: use after free
