commit 69fd4c0ca4c3380dd747c73942acf0b068aba8ab Author: Sven Eckelmann sven@narfation.org Date: Sun Jul 17 21:04:05 2016 +0200

batman-adv: Remove dev_queue_xmit return code exception

No caller of batadv_send_skb_to_orig is expecting the results to be -1 (-EPERM) anymore when the skbuff was not consumed. They will instead expect that the skbuff is always consumed. Having such return code filter is therefore not needed anymore.
