staging: et131x: In et131x_tx(), don't return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, just drop the packet
Memory allocation errors do not denote NETDEV_TX_BUSY, simply drop the packet silently with kfree_skb() and return NETDEV_TX_OK. Also remove this item from the TODO list. Signed-off-by: Mark Einon <mark.einon@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

TODO:
- Look at reducing the number of spinlocks
- Simplify code in nic_rx_pkts(), when determining multicast_pkts_rcvd
- - In et131x_tx(), don't return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, just drop the packet with kfree_skb().
- Reduce the number of split lines by careful consideration of variable names etc.
