[PATCH v3] net: mana: Fix return type of mana_start_xmit()

[Nathan Chancellor]

From: Nathan Huckleberry <nhuck@xxxxxxxxxx>

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. A new
warning in clang will catch this at compile time:

  drivers/net/ethernet/microsoft/mana/mana_en.c:382:21: error: incompatible function pointer types initializing 'netdev_tx_t (*)(struct sk_buff *, struct net_device *)' (aka 'enum netdev_tx (*)(struct sk_buff *, struct net_device *)') with an expression of type 'int (struct sk_buff *, struct net_device *)' [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict]
          .ndo_start_xmit         = mana_start_xmit,
                                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  1 error generated.

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