[ Upstream commit 307d343620e1fc7a6a2b7a1cdadb705532c9b6a5 ]
CFI (Control Flow Integrity) is a safety feature allowing the system to
detect and react should a potential control flow hijacking occurs. In
particular, the Forward-Edge CFI protects indirect function calls by
ensuring the prototype of function that is actually called matches the
definition of the function hook.
Since Linux now supports CFI, it will be a good idea to fix mismatched
return type for implementation of hooks. Otherwise this would get
cought out by CFI and cause a panic.
Use enums from netdev_tx_t as return value instead, then change return
type to netdev_tx_t.

Use enums from netdev_tx_t as return value instead, then change return
type to netdev_tx_t. Note that rtllib_xmit_inter() would return 1 only
on allocation failure and the queue is stopped if that happens, meeting
the documented requirement if NETDEV_TX_BUSY should be returned by
ndo_start_xmit.

[ Upstream commit c8ff91535880d41b49699b3829fb6151942de29e ]
In function device_init_td0_ring, memory is allocated for member
td_info of priv->apTD0Rings[i], with i increasing from 0. In case of
allocation failure, the memory is freed in reversed order, with i
decreasing to 0. However, the case i=0 is left out and thus memory is
leaked.
Modify the memory freeing loop to include the case i=0.

[ Upstream commit 708056fba733a73d926772ea4ce9a42d240345da ]
In rtw_init_cmd_priv(), if `pcmdpriv->rsp_allocated_buf` is allocated
in failure, then `pcmdpriv->cmd_allocated_buf` will be not properly
released. Besides, considering there are only two error paths and the
first one can directly return, so we do not need implicitly jump to the
`exit` tag to execute the error handler.
So this patch added `kfree(pcmdpriv->cmd_allocated_buf);` on the error
path to release the resource and simplified the return logic of
rtw_init_cmd_priv(). As there is no proper device to test with, no runtime
testing was performed.
