[PATCH net] net/sun3_82586: fix potential memory leak in sun3_82586_send_packet()

[Wang Hai]

The sun3_82586_send_packet() returns NETDEV_TX_OK without freeing skb
in case of skb->len being too long, add dev_kfree_skb() to fix it.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")

Thanks,

I agree that:
* This code-change is correct,
* and in keeping with other code in this function.
* And I agree that this problem goes back to the beginning of git history
