Subject: [PATCH net v2] tcp: Return user_mss for TCP_MAXSEG in CLOSE/LISTEN state if user_mss set

This patch replaces the tp->mss_cache check in getting TCP_MAXSEG
with tp->rx_opt.user_mss check for CLOSE/LISTEN sock. Since
tp->mss_cache is initialized with TCP_MSS_DEFAULT, checking if
it's zero is probably a bug.

With this change, getting TCP_MAXSEG before connecting will return
default MSS normally, and return user_mss if user_mss is set.
