Subject: [PATCH] l2tp: dont play with skb->truesize

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

Andrew Savchenko reported a DNS failure and we diagnosed that
some UDP sockets were unable to send more packets because their
sk_wmem_alloc was corrupted after a while (tx_queue column in
following trace)

$ cat /proc/net/udp
  sl  local_address rem_address   st tx_queue rx_queue tr tm->when retrnsmt   uid  timeout inode ref pointer drops

Playing with skb->truesize is tricky, especially when
skb is attached to a socket, as we can fool memory charging.

Just remove this code, its not worth trying to be ultra
precise in xmit path.
