8390: Call dev_consume_skb_any instead of dev_kfree_skb.

Browse Source 
Replace dev_kfree_skb with dev_consume_skb_any in __ei_start_xmit that
can be called in hard irq and other contexts.

dev_consume_skb is used as in this simple driver the skb is always
immediately consumed, there are no drops.
