Flooding the Kvaser CAN to USB dongle with multiple reads and
writes in high frequency caused seemingly-random panics in the
kernel.
On further inspection, it seems the driver erroneously freed the
to-be-transmitted packet upon getting tight on URBs and returning
NETDEV_TX_BUSY, leading to invalid memory writes and double frees
at a later point in time.
Note:
Finding no more URBs/transmit-contexts and returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY
is a driver bug in and out of itself: it means that our start/stop
queue flow control is broken.
This patch only fixes the (buggy) error handling code; the root
cause shall be fixed in a later commit.
