Subject: [PATCH net-next] wan: dlci/sdla transmit return dehacking

This is a brute force removal of the wierd slave interface done for DLCI -> SDLA
transmit. Before it was using non-standard return values and freeing skb in caller.
This changes it to using normal return values, and freeing in the callee.
Luckly only one driver pair was doing this. Not tested on real hardware,
in fact I wonder if this driver pair is even being used by any users.
