Subject: [PATCH] greth: fall through to common return statement on error

There doesn't seem to be any reason to explicitly return
NETDEV_TX_OK as err is set to NETDEV_TX_OK in all cases that
reach this point.

Cosmetic change brought about by curiosity as to weather returning
NETDEV_TX_OK on these error conditions is correct. I have similar
curiosity relating to greth_start_xmit().
