[PATCH v3 2/5] staging: et131x: drop packet when error occurs inet131x_tx

[ZHAO Gang]

As TODO file suggested, drop packet instead of return NETDEV_TX_BUSY
when tx failed.

et131x_tx calls function et131x_send_packets, I put the work of
et131x_send_packets directly into et131x_tx, and made some changes to
let the code more readable.
