Sorry, I have sent the message to soon.

tun.c should use a private 'struct page_frag_cache' to deliver
arbitrary frags/alignments,
so that syzkaller might catch interesting bugs in the stack.

This patch should solve your immediate problem, but would lower fuzzer
abilities to find bugs.

I will send something more suited to original intent of these commits :

90e33d45940793def6f773b2d528e9f3c84ffdc7 tun: enable napi_gro_frags()
for TUN/TAP driver
943170998b200190f99d3fe7e771437e2c51f319 tun: enable NAPI for TUN/TAP driver
