Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/4] r8169: remove r8169_csum_workaround

The loop in r8169_csum_workaround is called only if in
msdn_giant_send_check a copy of the skb header needs to be made and
we don't have enough memory. Let's simply drop the packet in that case
so that we can remove r8169_csum_workaround.
