Use netif_stop_queue() and netif_wake_queue() to control the flow of
packets to mac802154 devices. Since many IEEE 802.15.4 devices have no
output buffer, and since the mac802154 xmit() function is designed to
block, netif_stop_queue() is called after each packet.

When ops->xmit() fails, drop the packet. Devices which support hardware
ack and retry (which include all devices currently supported by mainline),
will automatically retry sending the packet (in the hardware) up to 3
times, per the 802.15.4 spec. There is no need, and it is incorrect to
try to do it in mac802154.

kfree_skb() indicates failure, which is where this is being used.

kfree_skb() was not getting called in the case of some failures.
This was pointed out by Eric Dumazet.

Conflicts:
drivers/net/caif/caif_hsi.c
drivers/net/usb/qmi_wwan.c
The qmi_wwan merge was trivial.
The caif_hsi.c, on the other hand, was not. It's a conflict between
1c385f1fdf ("caif-hsi: Replace platform
device with ops structure.") in the net-next tree and commit
39abbaef19 ("caif-hsi: Postpone init of
HIS until open()") in the net tree.
I did my best with that one and will ask Sjur to check it out.
