virtio-net: fix data corruption with OOM

Browse Source 
virtio net used to unlink skbs from send queues on error,
but ever since 48925e372f
we do not do this. This causes guest data corruption and crashes
with vhost since net core can requeue the skb or free it without
it being taken off the list.

This patch fixes this by queueing the skb after successful
transmit.
