Yes, I've read Herbert Xu's message pointing especially to
xfrm_state_check_space(). So I would like to make sure if there is no
other reason it triggers in packet_recvmsg() on these several reports.

If af_packet code is OK, I guess we could update truesize for it:
there is no reason to warn here about bugs from other, well known
places.
