Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 20/27] staging: rtl8192u: Fix return type of ieee80211_xmit

From: Nathan Huckleberry <nhuck@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit 2851349ac351010a2649e0ff86a1e3d68fe5d683 ]

The ndo_start_xmit field in net_device_ops is expected to be of type
netdev_tx_t (*ndo_start_xmit)(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev).

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

The return type of ieee80211_xmit should be changed from int to
netdev_tx_t.
