net/packet: ignore timestamp bits when testing tx frame status

Since the commit in Fixes, the tx completion handler writes the frame
status as TP_STATUS_AVAILABLE | ts, where ts can be
TP_STATUS_TS_SOFTWARE or TP_STATUS_TS_RAW_HARDWARE.

Two places compare a tx frame status to TP_STATUS_AVAILABLE for
equality, and so fail to detect such a released frame:

- tpacket_snd(), when packet_xmit() fails: the packet is silently
  dropped instead of an error being returned to the caller for retry.

- packet_poll(), on the tx ring head frame: the socket is not reported
  as writable.

Mask out the timestamp bits in both. In packet_lookup_frame(), only do
so when testing a tx ring frame for TP_STATUS_AVAILABLE.
