When the mcp251xfd_start_xmit() function fails, the driver stops processing messages, and the interrupt routine does not return, running indefinitely even after killing the running application.
Error messages: [ 441.298819] mcp251xfd spi2.0 can0: ERROR in mcp251xfd_start_xmit: -16 [ 441.306498] mcp251xfd spi2.0 can0: Transmit Event FIFO buffer not empty. (seq=0x000017c7, tef_tail=0x000017cf, tef_head=0x000017d0, tx_head=0x000017d3). ... and repeat forever.
The issue can be triggered when multiple devices share the same SPI interface. And there is concurrent access to the bus.
The problem occurs because tx_ring->head increments even if mcp251xfd_start_xmit() fails. Consequently, the driver skips one TX package while still expecting a response in mcp251xfd_handle_tefif_one().
This patch resolves the issue by starting a workqueue to write the tx obj synchronously if err = -EBUSY. In case of another error, it decrements tx_ring->head, removes skb from the echo stack, and drops the message.

V4->V5: - Start a workqueue to write tx obj with spi_sync() when spi_async() == -EBUSY.
V3->V4: - Leave can_put_echo_skb() and stop the queue if needed, before mcp251xfd_tx_obj_write(). - Re-sync head and remove echo skb if mcp251xfd_tx_obj_write() fails. - Revert -> return NETDEV_TX_BUSY if mcp251xfd_tx_obj_write() == -EBUSY.
V2->V3: - Add tx_dropped stats. - netdev_sent_queue() only if can_put_echo_skb() succeed.
V1->V2: - Return NETDEV_TX_BUSY if mcp251xfd_tx_obj_write() == -EBUSY. - Rework the commit message to address the change above. - Change can_put_echo_skb() to be called after mcp251xfd_tx_obj_write() succeed. Otherwise, we get Kernel NULL pointer dereference error.
