--
Using ( ( payload_start + payload_len ) > reported_len ) fails, because, that
will be true most of the time, as payload_len, usually is reported_len.

What the function should catch, are wrongly assigned payload_start and if
(payload_start + payload_len) is 0. Both cases happen usually during
fuzz-testing, and do not normally occur in real life.

The dropout if-statement is reduced to check if the payload_len is not equal
the reported_len.
