Bug is the packet producer, not in try_to_coalesce()

This issue comes up on netdev from times to times...

The WARN_ON() in try_to_coalesce() is an attempt to detect a producer
made a lie about truesize, leading to OOM in case of abuses.

Do not paper over the bug, find the root cause and fix it, thanks.
