I'm looking quickly at this tonight after a long day so it's possible
I'm missing something, but in the original report if you look one step
before the backtrace above you see the caller is send4 in the
wireguard code, which starts off by creating it's own flowi4 variable
on the stack and then eventually passing it down to
flowi4_to_flowi_common() for use as the second parameter to
security_sk_classify_flow().  Because the wireguard code only
allocates a flowi4 and not a full flowi struct it seems like this
would explain the size mismatch warning (flowi is larger than flowi4
due to the union containing flowi6 as well as flowi4).

Off the top of my head it isn't clear to me if it is considered "safe"
to allocate just a flowi4 in this way, you may need to allocate a full
flowi; if none of the netdev folks reply we could always check the
other flowi4 users in the kernel.

Depending on the above, the fix may be either to adjust send4() to use
a full flowi, or to adjust flowi4_to_flowi_common() to use the
flowi_common struct at the top of the flowi4 struct instead of first
looking for the flowi struct and going from there.
