I don't think this should be fixed, and the original code is correct.

This cleanup is opportunistic and may not cause problems if it fails. For
example, if tx_free_thresh is 32, and nb_tx_free is 24, there is no reason
to return zero here if the total packets to be sent it 16 - since all
packets can feasibly fit. Even if we had 32 to transmit, we still should
not quit here, since any packets that can be transmitted should be sent,
and there is a subsequent cleanup call at line 1084 to handle failed
cleanup when it does become a problem.

Regards,
/Bruce
