Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ipv4: Fix packet size calculation for IPsec packets in
 __ip_append_data

Git commit 59104f06 (ip: take care of last fragment in ip_append_data)
added a check to see if we exceed the mtu when we add trailer_len.
However, the mtu is already subtracted by trailer_len when the
xfrm transfomation bundles are set up. So IPsec packets with mtu
size get fragmented, or if the DF bit is set the packets will not
be send even though they match the mtu perfectly fine. This patch
actually reverts commit 59104f06.
