[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 14/23] net: korina: Fix return type of korina_send_packet

[ Upstream commit 106c67ce46f3c82dd276e983668a91d6ed631173 ]

The ndo_start_xmit field in net_device_ops is expected to be of type
netdev_tx_t (*ndo_start_xmit)(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev).

The mismatched return type breaks forward edge kCFI since the underlying
function definition does not match the function hook definition.

The return type of korina_send_packet should be changed from int to
netdev_tx_t.
