Subject: ipv4: ipv4_default_advmss() should use route mtu
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 164a5e7ad531e181334a3d3f03d0d5ad20d6faea ]
ipv4_default_advmss() incorrectly uses the device MTU instead
of the route provided one. IPv6 has the proper behavior,
lets harmonize the two protocols.
