This is exactly the same treatment that the return code from
gro_cells_receive gets just a few lines down. They return the same set
of codes (NET_RX_{SUCCESS,DROP}).

Looking through the source base, there are a few callers that look at
the return value (the overwhelming majority ignore it). Actions vary
from printing warnings (without rate-limit, yikes), setting variables
that are otherwise unused, or bumping a counter (the only reasonable
thing I have seen).

But looking through enqueue_to_backlog, it seems like there already is a
counter for this that is accessible from /proc/net/softnet_data.
