This driver uses RX skb's of O(2), thus it is possible for memory fragmentation
to prevent the allocation of a new one to replace a newly-received buffer.
When such a failure occurs, the kernel panics.

The fix is to drop an incoming packet whenever such an allocation fails. This
fix matches the one done in rtlwifi for other Realtek PCI devices.
