Subject: [PATCH net-next v2] veth: Fixing transmit return status for dropped packets

The veth_xmit function returns NETDEV_TX_OK even when packets are dropped.
This behavior leads to incorrect calculations of statistics counts, as
well as things like txq->trans_start updates.

Fixes: e314dbdc1c0d ("[NET]: Virtual ethernet device driver.")
