Subject: [PATCH 3.2 65/79] netfilter: xt_TCPMSS: correct return value in
 tcpmss_mangle_packet

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

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

From: Phil Oester <kernel@...uxace.com>

commit 1205e1fa615805c9efa97303b552cf445965752a upstream.

In commit b396966c4 (netfilter: xt_TCPMSS: Fix missing fragmentation handling),
I attempted to add safe fragment handling to xt_TCPMSS.  However, Andy Padavan
of Project N56U correctly points out that returning XT_CONTINUE in this
function does not work.  The callers (tcpmss_tg[46]) expect to receive a value
of 0 in order to return XT_CONTINUE.
