Didn't see how this affact skb->len. And for truesize, I think they are 
different, when the offset were not zero, the data in this vector were 
divided into two parts. First part is copied into skb directly, and the 
second were pinned from a whole userspace page by get_user_pages_fast(), 
so we need count the whole page to the socket limit to prevent evil 
application.
