xsk: Do not discard packet when NETDEV_TX_BUSY
In the skb Tx path, transmission of a packet is performed with dev_direct_xmit(). When NETDEV_TX_BUSY is set in the drivers, it signifies that it was not possible to send the packet right now, please try later. Unfortunately, the xsk transmit code discarded the packet and returned EBUSY to the application. Fix this unnecessary packet loss, by not discarding the packet in the Tx ring and return EAGAIN. As EAGAIN is returned to the application, it can then retry the send operation later and the packet will then likely be sent as the driver will then likely have space/resources to send the packet. In summary, EAGAIN tells the application that the packet was not discarded from the Tx ring and that it needs to call send() again. EBUSY, on the other hand, signifies that the packet was not sent and discarded from the Tx ring. The application needs to put the packet on the Tx ring again if it wants it to be sent.
