Backtrace:
  rt2800usb_write_tx_data
  rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame
  rt2x00mac_tx
  invoke_tx_handlers
  __ieee80211_tx
  ieee80211_tx
  virt_to_head_page
  ieee80211_xmit
  ieee80211_tx_skb
  ieee80211_scan_work
  schedule
  ieee80211_scan_work
  process_one_work
  ...

It tried to expand the skb past it's end using skb_put. So I replaced it
with a call to skb_padto, which takes the issue into account.
