net: netem: fix further issues with packet corruption

This set is fixing two more issues with the netem packet corruption.

First patch (which was previously posted) avoids NULL pointer dereference
if the first frame gets freed due to allocation or checksum failure.
v2 improves the clarity of the code a little as requested by Cong.

Second patch ensures we don't return SUCCESS if the frame was in fact
dropped. Thanks to this commit message for patch 1 no longer needs the
"this will still break with a single-frame failure" disclaimer.

============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
