No need for an else statement after 'return'

This path does not update truesize, evem if it increases the skb len...

... which can lead to bad things(TM) if the skb goes trough some later
non trivial processing, due to the above skb_set_owner_w().

Additionally can be the following condition be true:

vsk == NULL && (info->msg && payload_len > 0) && zcopy

???

If so it looks like skb can go through __zerocopy_sg_from_iter() even
without a prior skb_set_owner_w()...
