Subject: net: fix network drivers ndo_start_xmit() return values

This patch contains the final driver ndo_start_xmit() return
value fixups. I'm pretty sure I got them all ...

Please let me know whether you still want me to submit the
remaining patches or whether I should wait until the -next
tree is opened up again.

    net: fix network drivers ndo_start_xmit() return values
    
    Fix up remaining drivers returning a magic or an errno value from their
    ndo_start_xmit() functions that were missed in the first pass:
    
    - isdn_net: missed conversion
    - bpqether: missed conversion: skb is freed, so return NETDEV_TX_OK
    - hp100: intention appears to be to resubmit skb once resources are
      available, but due to no queue handling it is dropped for now.
    - lapbether: skb is freed, so return NETDEV_TX_OK
    
    Compile tested only.
