truesize may not be the most fortunate term.
truesize is how much memory we charge to the skb (for memory management)
which may relate to frag size in strange ways for strange HW :S
I don't have a great term, but I have a feeling truesize already
confuses driver developers.

Note two our xdp.py tests covers tail adjust, I wonder if it would have
caught this for you. Looking at Intel's results the XDP tests don't run
due to missing BTF. Could you work with Adrian to address that?
