Does reverting 31d8519c fix this?

Regardless of whether this is the problem, banning ksize because
it can be abused is like banning cars because they can kill people.

For example, Ethernet skbs are 1500 bytes long, so using ksize
we could potentially use the left-over memory for temporary storage.

Using ksize() for skbs will crash your kernel for some configurations
because calling that function for memory allocated with
kmem_cache_alloc() is not supported by all the allocators (well,
SLOB).
