Subject: [PATCH 4.14 021/209] can: rx-offload: can_rx_offload_irq_offload_timestamp(): continue on error

From: Jeroen Hofstee <jhofstee@...tronenergy.com>

[ Upstream commit c2a9f74c9d18acfdcabd3361adc7eac82c537a66 ]

In case of a resource shortage, i.e. the rx_offload queue will overflow
or a skb fails to be allocated (due to OOM),
can_rx_offload_offload_one() will call mailbox_read() to discard the
mailbox and return an ERR_PTR.

However can_rx_offload_irq_offload_timestamp() bails out in the error
case. In case of a resource shortage all mailboxes should be discarded,
to avoid an IRQ storm and give the system some time to recover.

Since can_rx_offload_irq_offload_timestamp() is typically called from a
while loop, all message will eventually be discarded. So let's continue
on error instead to discard them directly.
