MAX_SKB_FRAGS only counts frags and you also need space to map the head, no?

In general we advise to wait until there's at least 2 * MAX_SKB_FRAGS
to avoid frequent sleep/wake cycles. But IDK how long your queue is,
maybe it's too much.

if (netif_running()) outside of any locks is usually a red flag, but if
you're confident it's fine it's fine :)
