Subject: [PATCH 18/32] net/netbuff: Block overly large netbuff allocs

A netbuff shouldn't be too huge. It's bounded by MTU and TCP segment
reassembly. If we are asked to create one that is unreasonably big, refuse.

This is a hardening measure: if we hit this code, there's a bug somewhere
else that we should catch and fix.

This commit:
  - stops the bug propagating any further.
  - provides a spot to instrument in e.g. fuzzing to try to catch these bugs.

I have put instrumentation (e.g. __builtin_trap() to force a crash) here and
have not been able to find any more crashes.
