Subject: can: peak/pcie_fd: fix potential bug in restarting tx queue

From: Stephane Grosjean <[email protected]>

commit 91785de6f94b58c3fb6664609e3682f011bd28d2 upstream.

Don't rely on can_get_echo_skb() return value to wake the network tx queue up: can_get_echo_skb() returns 0 if the echo array slot was not occupied, but also when the DLC of the released echo frame was 0.
