I see you reorganized the code. It is more clear and readable with your
change, but no check is removed.
We could remove the check after virtio_xmit_cleanup. In current
implementation, we assume the virtio_xmit_cleanup and vq_ring_free_chain
always succeed.

As you fix the comment, if it is correct, could you do s/need/needs/ as
well, :)?

Still need is rechecked here. It could be removed if virtio_xmit_cleanup
ensures need would be <= 0 after the call.
