The current source pushes skb into dev->done queue by calling
skb_queue_tail() and then pop it by calling skb_dequeue() to branch to
rx_cleanup state for freeing urb/skb in usbnet_bh(). It takes extra CPU
load, 2.21% (skb_queue_tail) as follows.

-   11.58%     0.26%  swapper          [k] usbnet_bh
     - 11.32% usbnet_bh
        - 6.43% skb_dequeue
             6.34% _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
        - 2.21% skb_queue_tail
             2.19% _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
        - 1.68% consume_skb
           - 0.97% kfree_skbmem
                0.80% kmem_cache_free
             0.53% skb_release_data

To reduce the extra CPU load use return values jumping to rx_cleanup
state directly to free them instead of calling skb_queue_tail() and
skb_dequeue() for push/pop respectively.

-    7.87%     0.25%  swapper          [k] usbnet_bh
     - 7.62% usbnet_bh
        - 4.81% skb_dequeue
             4.74% _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
        - 1.75% consume_skb
           - 0.98% kfree_skbmem
                0.78% kmem_cache_free
             0.58% skb_release_data
          0.53% smsc95xx_rx_fixup

"1" means that you processed 1 byte, not that this is an error, which is
what you want to say here, right?
No not at all..
Please return a negative error value
like I asked this to be changed to last time :(
Could you help me to decide the message type at this point please? I am
confused.
I do not know, pick something that seems correct and we can go from
there.  The important thing is that it is a -ERR value, not a positive
one as that makes no sense for kernel functions.

Thank you for reviewing, v3 will be sent soon.

Best regards,
Leesoo
