I wrongly mixed the two codes in my head as I wanted to take the lowest
of the two values; will correct that; sorry for the confusion.

agreed, I overlooked it. Unsure whether I can put it in CAP_XMIT
condition as well.

understood, I indeed did not noticed hard_header_len was not set in
ip_tunnel.
