Yes, this is exactly what you suspected. In pskb_expand_head() ->
kmalloc_reserve() I have these values initially:
(gdb) p *size
$13 = 65408
(gdb) p obj_size
$16 = 65728

and it will do:
    data = kmalloc_reserve(&size, gfp_mask, NUMA_NO_NODE, NULL);
...
	obj_size = SKB_HEAD_ALIGN(*size);
...
	*size = obj_size = kmalloc_size_roundup(obj_size);

(gdb) p *size
$22 = 131072

So this is kmalloc_size_roundup() doing this math with the following:
   /* Above the smaller buckets, size is a multiple of page size. */                                                                                                                           │
   if (size > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE)                                                                                                                                                          │
      return PAGE_SIZE << get_order(size);

I see no other bugs in math, so not sure wether it should be fixed. Is
it ok and expected to roundup the memory allocation?
