Subject: [PATCH] can: c_can: Handle lost message before EOB

If we handle end of block messages with higher priority than a lost
message, we can run into an endless interrupt loop.

This is reproducable with a am335x processor and "cansequence -r" at
1Mbit. As soon as we loose a packet we can't escape from a interrupt
loop.

This patch handles lost packets before EOB packets.
