When doing plpmtu probe, the probe size is growing every time when it receives the ACK during the Search state until the probe fails. When the failure occurs, pl.probe_high is set and it goes to the Complete state. However, if the link pmtu is huge, like 65535 in loopback_dev, the probe eventually keeps using SCTP_MAX_PLPMTU as the probe size and never fails. Because of that, pl.probe_high can not be set, and the plpmtu probe can never go to the Complete state. Fix it by setting pl.probe_high to SCTP_MAX_PLPMTU when the probe size grows to SCTP_MAX_PLPMTU in sctp_transport_pl_recv(). Also, not allow the probe size greater than SCTP_MAX_PLPMTU in the Complete state.
