netpoll_send_udp can return if send was successful. It will allow client code to be aware of the send status. Possible return values are the result of __netpoll_send_skb (cast to int) and -ENOMEM. This doesn't cover the case when TX was not successful instantaneously and was scheduled for later, __netpoll__send_skb returns success in that case.
