Isolated seen, I guess, this is a correct fix to 7df13219d757.

Question to Jason Wang:
Why fall back (to e.g. tun_alloc_skb()) when size is above PAGE_SIZE?

AFAIK tun_build_skb() *can* create get larger packets than PAGE_SIZE
from it's page_frag.  Is there a reason for this limitation?

(To Andrew, I assume a change in this area is another patch).
