net: usb: rtl8150: Fix frame padding

Browse source

commit 75cea9860a upstream.

TX frames aren't padded and unknown memory is sent into the ether.

Theoretically, it isn't even guaranteed that the extra memory exists
and can be sent out, which could cause further problems. In practice,
I found that plenty of tailroom exists in the skb itself (in my test
with ping at least) and skb_padto() easily succeeds, so use it here.

In the event of -ENOMEM drop the frame like other drivers do.

The use of one more padding byte instead of a USB zero-length packet
is retained to avoid regression. I have a dodgy Etron xHCI controller
which doesn't seem to support sending ZLPs at all.
