Subject: [PATCH v2] tty: ipwireless: fix error handling

ipwireless_send_packet() can only return 0 on success and -ENOMEM on
error, the caller should check non zero for error condition

v2: - According to Jiri's comment, I made the checking consistent with
the rest of the kernel. I also rebased the code using f684668a24ec.
Thank you Jiri!
