virtio-net: correct error handling of virtqueue_kick()
Current error handling of virtqueue_kick() was wrong in two places: - The skb were freed immediately when virtqueue_kick() fail during xmit. This may lead double free since the skb was not detached from the virtqueue. - try_fill_recv() returns false when virtqueue_kick() fail. This will lead unnecessary rescheduling of refill work. Actually, it's safe to just ignore the kick failure in those two places. So this patch fixes this by partially revert commit 6797590. Fixes 6797590 (virtio_net: verify if virtqueue_kick() succeeded).
