Subject: [PATCH] net: make skb_truesize_bug() call WARN()

The truesize message check is important enough to make it print "BUG" to the
user console... lets also make it important enough to spit a backtrace/module list
etc so that kerneloops.org can track them.

The bug reports I've seen (with my Debian hat on, not relating to sfc)
show that configurations that trigger this warning are likely to trigger
many times over and there's nothing the user can do about it.  So by all
means do make the warning more obvious, but please make it WARN_ON_ONCE
and then use printk qualified by net_ratelimit().

Ben.
