    When expanding buffer headroom over udp tunnel with pskb_expand_head(),
    it's unfortunate that we don't check its return value. As a result, if
    the function returns an error code due to the lack of memory, it may
    cause unpredictable consequence as we unconditionally consider that
    it's always successful.
