Don't do that. It causes more damage than good leaving your system
easily vulnerable to DoS by SYN-Flooding. syn cookies alone solves the
SYN-flood problem very nicely and efficiently.

The log message should be taken more as a hint that you may want to
investigate the current network traffic as there maybe is something
broken (bad cable or similar) OR someone actually trying to SYN-flood
you. But it could also simply be that the server is overloaded. So it's
a hint that the traffic may need to be looked into, not a rule or even a
strong indication of problem.
