These patches begin fixing up the ndo_start_xmit() return values
of drivers returning errno codes. I'll send them one at a time as
I finish them since its quite a lot.

All four drivers touched in this patch compile tested.

    net: fix network driver ndo_start_xmit() return values (part 1)
    
    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
