We should alloc big buffers also when guest can receive UFO
pakcets. Otherwise the big packets will be truncated when mergeable rx
buffer is disabled.
Not truncated, they will be dropped.
Why dropped? We enable the ufo on tap0 if VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_UFO is
negotiated. So skb was queued on the receive queue. But since the
receive buffer is small, it will be truncated during tun_put_user().
