IIUC, I40E_MAX_CHAINED_RX_BUFFERS (5) limits a packet to one head and at
most four frags. Since xsk_buff_add_frag() fails only when nr_frags ==
MAX_SKB_FRAGS, which is at least 17, this path is unreachable for a
valid i40e RX chain.

However, the UAF scenario looks valid if it does fail, so the
pre-existing error may still be worth fixing.
