Hmm, what happens when mem_size > sizeof(if_inline_data)? A slab object
will be allocated for ifp->if_u1.if_data which can then be used for
readlink in the same manner as the example usage trace below. Does
that allocated object have a need for a usercopy annotation like
the one we're adding for if_inline_data? Or is that already covered
elsewhere?
