1)in tcp_v4_send_synack, if SO_RCVBUF is set and 
tcp_full_space(sk)=65535, pass req->rsk_window_clamp=65535 to 
tcp_select_initial_window, rcv_wscale will be zero, and send to client, 
the client consider wscale is 0;
2)when ack is back from client, if there is no this patch, 
req->rsk_window_clamp is 0, and pass to tcp_select_initial_window, 
wscale will be 7, this new rcv_wscale is no way to advertise to client.
3)if server send rcv_wind to client with window=63, it consider the real
window is 63*2^7=8064, but client consider the server window is only 
63*2^0=63, it can't send big packet to server, and the send-q of client
is full.

if cookie_v4_check pass window_clamp=0 to tcp_select_initial_window, it 
will set window_clamp to max value.
(*window_clamp) = (U16_MAX << TCP_MAX_WSCALE);

but space will fetch from sysctl_rmem_max and sysctl_tcp_rmem[2] which 
is also big value.
space = max_t(u32, space, sock_net(sk)->ipv4.sysctl_tcp_rmem[2]);
space = max_t(u32, space, sysctl_rmem_max);

Then,space = min(*window_clamp, space) is a big value, lead wscale to 7,
is different from tcp_v4_send_synack.

I have real environment and reproduce this case, this patch can fix 
that, i will try to use packetdrill with syn cookies and syn flood happen.
