I think this could benefit from:
a) Removal of unnecessary parentheses
b) Line wrapping to 80 columns wide or less,
   as is still preferred for Networking code

(Completely untested!)

	ovpn_skb_cb(skb)->sg = kmalloc_array(nfrags + 2,
					     sizeof(*ovpn_skb_cb(skb)->sg),
					     GFP_ATOMIC);

Likewise here.
