This is needed because in ndisc.c, we have:
static void ndisc_router_discovery(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
// ...
if (ndopts.nd_opts_mtu) {
// ...
if (rt)
rt->u.dst.metrics[RTAX_MTU-1] = mtu;
rt6_mtu_change(skb->dev, mtu);
// ...
}
Since the mtu is set directly here, rt6_mtu_change_route thinks that
it is unchanged, and so it fails to update the MSS accordingly. This
patch lets rt6_mtu_change_route still update MSS if old_mtu == new_mtu.
