Subject: [PATCH] openvswitch: Change the return type for vport_ops.send
 function hook to int

All usages of the vport_ops struct have the .send field set to
dev_queue_xmit or internal_dev_recv.  Since most usages are set to
dev_queue_xmit, the function hook should match the signature of
dev_queue_xmit.

The only call to vport_ops->send() is in net/openvswitch/vport.c and it
throws away the return value.

This mismatched return type breaks forward edge kCFI since the underlying
function definition does not match the function hook definition.
