Thanks for the review and sorry for the delayed response.
Do "%s: clone skb header\n" rephrase make sense to you?
I have no deep knowledge of this code, and if you think the original message
is actually useful, I'm ok to leave a log message as it is.
Initially I had guessed it was an unintentional log message because it has
misleading text and logs spammed every few minutes - too rarely to consider
It as a real performance issue.
