Subject: net: bridge: don't increment tx_dropped in br_do_proxy_arp
From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 85a3d4a9356b595d5440c3f1bf07ee7cecca1567 upstream.
pskb_may_pull may fail due to various reasons (e.g. alloc failure), but the
skb isn't changed/dropped and processing continues so we shouldn't
increment tx_dropped.
