Other than above one, eth_start_xmit() tries to remote wakeup host when
we have some data to send from n/w layer. In that case we try to wakeup
host and directly return NETDEV_TX_BUSY to caller. If remote wakeup
succeeds, then resume() would call netif_start_queue() which again lets
n/w layer to queue skb. Hence we don't have to check for ret of
ether_wakeup_host() in that case.
