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.

We kindly ask for net patches to include a Fixes: tag.

If we receive hundreds of patches without them, it takes hours of work
for reviewers
to do the _needed_ work.

We need your help.

Fixes: e314dbdc1c0d ("[NET]: Virtual ethernet device driver.")
