I believe the bug happens if the sock_wmalloc() call at line 1921 has to sleep.

device can change (or at lest dev->hard_header_len can change)

So we need to bailout if reserved/hhlen had changed.

Or revert some patches, since dev_hold() and dev_put() are no longer high cost,
since it is now using per cpu counter.
