Subject[AUDIT]: Increase skb->truesize in audit_expand
Hi:

[AUDIT]: Increase skb->truesize in audit_expand

The recent UDP patch exposed this bug in the audit code. It
was calling pskb_expand_head without increasing skb->truesize.
The caller of pskb_expand_head needs to do so because that function
is designed to be called in places where truesize is already fixed
and therefore it doesn't update its value.

Because the audit system is using it in a place where the truesize
has not yet been fixed, it needs to update its value manually.

Cheers,
