[PATCH net] net: tun: limit first seg size to avoid oversized linearization

Recently, we found a syzkaller problem as following:

========================================================

tun_chr_write_iter+0x98/0x100 drivers/net/tun.c:2036

It is because the first seg size of the iov_iter from user space is
very big, it is 2147479538 which is bigger than the threshold value
for bail out early in __alloc_pages(). And skb->pfmemalloc is true,
__kmalloc_reserve() would use pfmemalloc reserves without __GFP_NOWARN
flag. Thus we got a warning.

I noticed that non-first segs size are required less than PAGE_SIZE in
tun_napi_alloc_frags(). The first seg should not be a special case, and
oversized linearization is also unreasonable. Limit the first seg size to
PAGE_SIZE to avoid oversized linearization.
