Subject: tcp: initialize rcv_mss to TCP_MIN_MSS instead of 0

From: Wei Wang <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 499350a5a6e7512d9ed369ed63a4244b6536f4f8 ]

When tcp_disconnect() is called, inet_csk_delack_init() sets icsk->icsk_ack.rcv_mss to 0.
This could potentially cause tcp_recvmsg() => tcp_cleanup_rbuf() => __tcp_select_window() call path to have division by 0 issue. So this patch initializes rcv_mss to TCP_MIN_MSS instead of 0.
