These changes are normal, since skb truesize  now include shared_info.

By the way, these params are not used for tcp streams.

This is why I asked netstat -s values, to check if we had drops because
of truesize limits.

Its not the case here since skb are not too fat (as some NICS can do,
using a full PAGE to hold a single 1500 bytes frams)
