Summary

Defer the packet size check until after the firewall has had a look at it. This
means that the firewall now has the opportunity to (re-)fragment an oversized
packet.
This mirrors what the slow path does.

This doesn't look like the code from head/. Original code uses PFIL_IN and PFIL_OUT directions.

Ah, right. I've got another patch I'm working on to add 'PFIL_FWD', but that's not quite ready yet. I'll rebase this so it doesn't include that change.
