Probably what should happen is:

1) First this function validates that there are really
   'dsize' bytes available in the ev_skb source.

2) Second, skb_realloc_headroom() is called on 'skb' with
   a second argument of 'dsize'.

That means also this function now needs to return error
values, and the callers updated to handle that.
