can: mscan: fix improper return if dlc < 8 in start_xmit function
The start_xmit function of the MSCAN Driver did return improperly if
the CAN dlc check failed (skb not freed and invalid return code). This
patch adds a proper check of the frame lenght and data size and returns
now correctly. The invalid skb packets are dropped silently as suggested
by David Miller in the thread "[RFC] ndo_validate_skb: Let the netdev
check a valid skb content" on the netdev mailing list.
Furthermore, a typo has been fixed.
