URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/324050

Log:
  tcp: Don't "negotiate" MSS.
  
  _NO_ OSes actually "negotiate" MSS.
  
  RFC 879:
  "... This Maximum Segment Size (MSS) announcement (often mistakenly
  called a negotiation) ..."
  
  This negotiation behaviour was introduced 11 years ago by r159955
  without any explaination about why FreeBSD had to "negotiate" MSS:
  
      In syncache_respond() do not reply with a MSS that is larger than what
      the peer announced to us but make it at least tcp_minmss in size.

  The tcp_minmss behaviour is still kept.
  
  Syncookie fix was prodded by tuexen, who also helped to test this
  patch w/ packetdrill.
