net:emac/emac-mac: Fix a use after free in emac_mac_tx_buf_send

In emac_mac_tx_buf_send, it calls emac_tx_fill_tpd(..,skb,..). If some error happens in emac_tx_fill_tpd(), the skb will be freed via dev_kfree_skb(skb) in error branch of emac_tx_fill_tpd(). But the freed skb is still used via skb->len by netdev_sent_queue(,skb->len).

As i observed that emac_tx_fill_tpd() havent modified the value of skb->len, thus my patch assigns skb->len to len before the possible free and use len instead of skb->len later.
