Losing arbitration is normal in a CAN-bus network, it means that a higher priority frame is being send and the pending message will be retried later. Hence most driver only increment arbitration_lost, but the sja1000 and sun4i driver also incremeant tx_error, causing errors to be reported on a normal functioning CAN-bus. So stop counting them as errors. For completeness, the Kvaser USB hybra also increments the tx_error on arbitration lose, but it does so in single shot. Since in that case the message is not retried, that behaviour is kept.
