staging: et131x: In et131x_tx(), don't return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, just drop the packet

Memory allocation errors do not denote NETDEV_TX_BUSY, simply drop
the packet silently with kfree_skb() and return NETDEV_TX_OK.

Also remove this item from the TODO list.

 TODO:
 	- Look at reducing the number of spinlocks
 	- Simplify code in nic_rx_pkts(), when determining multicast_pkts_rcvd
-	- In et131x_tx(), don't return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, just drop the packet with kfree_skb().
 	- Reduce the number of split lines by careful consideration of variable names etc.
