Devmem TX charges each frag the net_iov size, PAGE_SIZE today:
zerocopy_fill_skb_from_devmem() adds PAGE_SIZE to skb->truesize per
frag and __zerocopy_sg_from_iter() charges it to sk_wmem_queued. TCP
uncharges in bytes as acked data is trimmed from the skb
(tcp_trim_head()) and uncharges the rest when the skb is freed. A frag
shorter than a page leaves the difference charged until then, which is
small with PAGE_SIZE net_iovs.
TX net_iovs are about to grow up to 2MB, while frags stay bounded by
the skb and many frags share a net_iov. Charging the net_iov size would
charge up to 2MB per frag: a 64KB skb with two frags would charge 4MB
and fill the default 4MB send buffer on its own.
Charge the frag length instead, which also matches what TCP uncharges.
