_skb_grow() looks good for me. It's a balance solution for this case.
If you have no concern about the patch below, I will post v2 after UT.
:)

        if (!test_bit(MT76_STATE_MCU_RUNNING, &dev->phy.state)) {
                __skb_put_zero(e->skb, 4);
+               err = __skb_grow(e->skb, roundup(e->skb->len,
+                                                sdio->func-
>cur_blksize));
+               if (err)
+                       return err;
                err = __mt76s_xmit_queue(dev, e->skb->data,
                                                 e->skb->len);
