I can move this up a few lines.

Not sure I follow. Anyways could this be done in a follow up by you if
want this change.

Yes, this patch is broken but fixed in a follow up one. Regardless I'll
fix this patch in place.

Not exactly. This is following how ct_send() uses the action + len
field. Action[0] field goes in the HXG header and extra + 1 is for the
CT header.

Definitely not return -EBUSY as this a blocking call. Perhaps we can log
this, but IGTs likely can hit rather easily. It really is only
interesting if real workloads hit this. Regardless that can be a follow
up.
