-               xdp_return_frame(frame);
-               return NETDEV_TX_BUSY;
+               return -EBUSY;
As the "xdp_return_frame(frame)" should not be called when error branch, the patch
fix it too.

The patch was generated by using "git format-patch -n1". The strange thing is that
it appends "1/1" on some machines but not on others. The output seems inconsistent.
However, using "git format-patch -N1" can fix this.
