zd1211rw: Do not panic on device eject when associated

Browse Source 
zd_op_tx() must not return an arbitrary error value since that can
leave mac80211 trying to retransmit the frame and with the extra data
pushed into the beginning of the skb on every attempt, this will end up
causing a kernel panic (skb_under_panic from skb_push call). This can
happen, e.g., when ejecting the device when associated.
