The method struct vport_ops:send() is defined as returning an
'netdev_tx_t', which is defined as a typedef for a bitwise type
and otherwise used for the start_xmit() methods.
However, most openvswitch drivers use for this method dev_queue_xmit()
which returns an 'int' and the return value of vport_ops:send() is
in fact never used.

Make things typewise consistent and use 'int' for vport_ops:send()
as well for internal_dev_recv() (which is the only proper send method)
as using 'netdev_tx_t' doesn't offer any advantages and in fact seems,
if not wrong at least, inadequate.

Yes, it does seem odd to use a tx return type for receive.  Nice fixup.
