Some more data; removing all uses of ksize() fixes the warnings:

Conversely, only doing this also fixes the warnings:

| +++ b/net/core/skbuff.c

But not sure if any of this is helpful, since in the end what we want is
to make a bunch of subtractions reach precisely 0, and any deviation
somewhere might, by chance, achieve that.
