mailbox: Make mbox_send_message() return error code when tx fails

When the mailbox controller failed transmitting message, the error code
was only passed to the client's tx done handler and not to
mbox_send_message() in blocking mode. For this reason, the function could
return a false success. This commit resolves the issue by introducing the
tx status and checking it before mbox_send_message() returns.

This commit works with the premise that the multi-threads' access to a
channel in blocking mode is serialized by clients, not by the mailbox
APIs, since the current mbox_send_message() in blocking mode does not
support multi-threads.
