netpoll_send_udp can return if send was successful.
It will allow client code to be aware of the send status.

Possible return values are the result of __netpoll_send_skb (cast to int)
and -ENOMEM. This doesn't cover the case when TX was not successful
instantaneously and was scheduled for later, __netpoll__send_skb returns
success in that case.
