The issue is not with SKB_GSO_UDP_L4, but with SKB_GSO_FRAGLIST.

Failing for any pull is a bit excessive. And would kill a sane
workaround of pulling only as many bytes as needed.

Truncating requests would be a surprising change of behavior
for this function.
Failing for a pull > skb_headlen is arguably reasonable, as
the alternative is that we let it go through but have to drop
the now malformed packets on segmentation.

Such logs should always be rate limited. But no need to log cases
where we well understood how we get there.
I would stick with one approach: either in the BPF func or in
segmentation, not both. And then I find BPF preferable, as explained
before.
