Commit 4094871db1d6 ("udp: only do GSO if # of segs > 1") avoided GSO
for small packets. But the kernel currently dismisses GSO requests only
after checking MTU on gso_size. This means any packets, regardless of
their payload sizes, would be dropped when MTU is smaller than requested
gso_size. Meanwhile, EINVAL would be returned in this case, making it
very misleading to debug.
Ideally, do not check any GSO related constraints when payload size is
smaller than requested gso_size, and return EMSGSIZE on MTU check
failure consistently for all packets to ease debugging.
Fixes: 4094871db1d6 ("udp: only do GSO if # of segs > 1")
