afs: Fix afs to abort the rxrpc call on send error

This makes afs_send_empty_reply() and afs_send_simple_reply() always try to
abort the rxrpc call on a send error instead of only aborting on -ENOMEM,
and makes afs_make_call() abort unconditionally on send error.  The
afs_abort_oom trace enum is replaced by afs_abort_send_error.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but the removal of the -ENOMEM block seems to have left an
extra blank line behind in afs_send_simple_reply().  After the patch the
function reads:

	if (n >= 0) {
		/* Success */
		_leave(" [replied]");
		return;
	}

	rxrpc_kernel_abort_call(net->socket, call->rxcall,
				RXGEN_SS_MARSHAL, n, afs_abort_send_error);

That is two consecutive blank lines, which checkpatch --strict flags with
"please don't use multiple blank lines".  Since this patch carries
cc: stable at vger.kernel.org, would it be worth dropping the added blank line
so the backports don't inherit it?  It is still present at the end of the
series.
