patch for udp_sendmsg

Dear Sirs,

Commit : the max length of udp msg is (0xFFFF - sizeof(struct udphdr) - sizeof(struct iphdr). return -EMSGSIZE in udp_sendmsg.
Patch : as the attached file

If length of "data" is between (0xFFFF - sizeof(struct udphdr) - sizeof(struct iphdr) and 0xFFFF, sendto will fail because of ip_make_skb.
Should kernel return -EMSGSIZE as soon as possible ?
