veth: Fixing transmit return status for dropped packets

[ Upstream commit 151e887 ]

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: e314dbd ("[NET]: Virtual ethernet device driver.")
