A client submitted the message, and that client gets the actual
status. mbox_send_message does not (can not) tell if the message was
successfully sent or not. For example, consider non-blocking mode when
mbox_send_message() immediately returns after simply placing the
message in the fifo. It returns 0, but still the message transmission
may fail when its turn comes. So I think it is fine as is.
