[PATCH] Fix outgoing MSS computation in 2.4

[Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxx>]

2.4 doesn't subtract the timestamp length from the MSS for outgoing
connects. This causes many problems from hosts on a network connection
with an MTU < ethernet talking to path mtu blackholed (=behind 
a firewall that blocks all ICMPs) windows boxes. 

This patch fixes the problem.
