Subject: [PATCH net-next 04/11] s390/qeth: handle skb allocation error gracefully

When current code fails to allocate an skb in the RX path, it drops the
whole RX buffer. Considering the large number of packets that a single
RX buffer might contain, this is quite drastic.

Skip over the packet instead, and try to extract the next packet from
the RX buffer.
