Plus consideration of -- For error case, please just return NETDEV_TX_OK. We
are not sure if the error can go away after retrying, returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY
may cause infinite retry from the upper layer.
So, let's just always return NETDEV_TX_OK like this:
netvsc_vf_xmit(net, vf_netdev, skb);
return NETDEV_TX_OK;
