[ Upstream commit 950271d7cc0b4546af3549d8143c4132d6e1f138 ]

Currently the tun_napi_alloc_frags() function returns -ENOMEM when the
number of iovs exceeds MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1. However this is inappropriate,
we should use -EMSGSIZE instead of -ENOMEM.

The following distinctions are matters:
1. the caller need to drop the bad packet when -EMSGSIZE is returned,
which means meeting a persistent failure.
2. the caller can try again when -ENOMEM is returned, which means
meeting a transient failure.
