Subject: [PATCH] usbnet: ignore get interface retval of -EINPROGRESS

When calling pm_runtime_get, usb_autopm_get_interface_async
treats a return value of -EINPROGRESS as a success and
increments the usage count.  Since the interface is resuming,
it is safe for usbnet_start_xmit to submit the urb.  If instead,
usbnet_start_xmit treats this as an error the packet will be
dropped.  Additionally, a corresponding tx_complete will not
run to offset the earlier increment of the usage count from the
call to usb_autopm_get_interface_async.
