Subject: [PATCH 3.16 232/233] tcp: initialize rcv_mss to TCP_MIN_MSS
 instead of 0

3.16.48-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Wei Wang <weiwan@...gle.com>

commit 499350a5a6e7512d9ed369ed63a4244b6536f4f8 upstream.

When tcp_disconnect() is called, inet_csk_delack_init() sets
icsk->icsk_ack.rcv_mss to 0.
This could potentially cause tcp_recvmsg() => tcp_cleanup_rbuf() =>
__tcp_select_window() call path to have division by 0 issue.
So this patch initializes rcv_mss to TCP_MIN_MSS instead of 0.
