I know it seems like a lot of work, but with appropriate wrappers we
can control the freeing that skb_pad() does at the deepest part of
this call chain.

int __skb_pad(struct sk_buff *skb, int pad, bool free_skb_on_err);
static inline int skb_pad(struct sk_buff *skb, int pad)
{
	return __skb_pad(skb, pad, true);
}

static inline int __skb_put_padto(struct sk_buff *skb, unsigned int len,
				  bool free_skb_on_err)
{
	unsigned int size = skb->len;

	if (unlikely(size < len)) {
		len -= size;
		if (__skb_pad(skb, len, free_skb_on_err))
			return -ENOMEM;
		__skb_put(skb, len);
	}
	return 0;
}

static inline int skb_put_padto(struct sk_buff *skb, unsigned int len)
{
	return __skb_put_padto(skb, len, true);
}

And then here in the ksz_xmit() code, invoke __skb_put_padto() with the
boolean set appropriately.
