Yunjian Wang 443a71031e tun: fix return value when the number of iovs exceeds MAX_SKB_FRAGS
[ Upstream commit 950271d7cc ]

Currently the tun_napi_alloc_frags() function returns -ENOMEM when the
number of iovs exceeds MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1. However this is inappropriate,
we should use -EMSGSIZE instead of -ENOMEM.

The following distinctions are matters:
1. the caller need to drop the bad packet when -EMSGSIZE is returned,
   which means meeting a persistent failure.
2. the caller can try again when -ENOMEM is returned, which means
   meeting a transient failure.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
