Hi Keir:

Here is a bug fix that just got merged upstream that affects
the GSO patch as well.

[NET] gso: Fix reversed error test in netif_tx_trylock

Original changelog:

    [NET]: Fix reversed error test in netif_tx_trylock

    A non-zero return value indicates success from spin_trylock,
    not error.

    Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
