Yes, and it's only netdev_rx_csum_fault that matters, because
skb_warn_bad_offload calls with full_pkt=false anyway.

During the times when I had netdev_rx_csum_fault triggered, it was
pretty bad anyway. I don't think that full_pkt getting unset after 5
skbs made too big of a difference.

Yes, well my expectation is that other people are using skb_dump for
debugging, even beyond those 2 callers in the mainline kernel. And when
they want to dump with full_pkt=true, they really want to dump with
full_pkt=true.
