So this should not actually happen. If it does, some protocol above is
ignoring the MTU. And if that happens, you are going to spam the log
at line rate.

Packets which are truncated are also pretty useless. They are likely
to be dropped by the receiver when the CRC fails. So i would suggest
drop them here, and increment a counter.

Apart from the MTU_SIZE_BIT_MASK, this looks mostly unrelated.
