Instead of dropping the packet, we keep the skb buffer, and return
NETDEV_TX_BUSY to let upper layer retry send. This will not cause
endless loop, because the host is taking data away from ring buffer,
and we have called the stop_queue before returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY.

The stop_queue was called in the function netvsc_send() in file
netvsc.c, then it returns to rndis_filter_send(), which returns to
netvsc_start_xmit() in file netvsc_drv.c. So the NETDEV_TX_BUSY is
indeed returned AFTER queue is stopped.
