All callers of APIs that allowed a 0-sized frag_size appear to be
passing actual size information already
AFAICS, not yet:

drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_ll2.c:
	skb = build_skb(buffer->data, 0); // -> __build_skb(..., 0) 
		// ->  __build_skb_around()

drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2.c:
	skb = build_skb(data, 0);

I guess some more drivers have calls leading to 

	__build_skb_around(...,  0)

there are several call path to checks...
Ah-ha! Thank you. I will try to hunt these down -- I think we can't
remove the "secret resizing" effect of ksize() without fixing these.

At some point in the future, I guess we could even drop this check,
right?
Alternatively, we might be able to ask the slab if "data" came from
kmalloc or a kmem_cache, and if the former, do:

	data = krealloc(kmalloc_size_roundup(ksize(data), ...)

But that seems ugly...
