[PATCH] ath5k: properly drop packets from ops->tx

[PATCH] ath5k: properly drop packets from ops->tx

[Bob Copeland]

We shouldn't return NETDEV_TX_BUSY from the TX callback, especially
after we've mucked with the sk_buffs.  Drop the packets and return
NETDEV_TX_OK.

ath5k seems to have the same issue identified in zd1211rw of attempting
retries after modifying the skb's.. and TX_BUSY isn't supposed to be
used anyway.
