Subject: [PATCH net v3 1/2] fix return of iptunnel_xmit

All users of iptunnel_xmit expect the return value to be the packet
length on success (>0), negative for a tx error and zero for a tx
dropped error. In cset 0e6fbc5b6c6218987c93b8c7ca60cf786062899d the
negative return case was lost.

This bug was introduced when the ip_tunnel_core code was refactored.

Fixes: 0e6fbc5b6c6218987c93b8c7ca60cf786062899d
