6.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 75cea9860aa6b2350d90a8d78fed114d27c7eca2 upstream.
TX frames aren't padded and unknown memory is sent into the ether.
Theoretically, it isn't even guaranteed that the extra memory exists and can be sent out, which could cause further problems. In practice, I found that plenty of tailroom exists in the skb itself (in my test with ping at least) and skb_padto() easily succeeds, so use it here.
In the event of -ENOMEM drop the frame like other drivers do.
The use of one more padding byte instead of a USB zero-length packet is retained to avoid regression. I have a dodgy Etron xHCI controller which doesn't seem to support sending ZLPs at all.
