This patch makes ipt_TCPMSS use the correct MTU value for clamping. This is a bit tricky actually since TCPMSS can be used in FORWARD, LOCAL_OUT as well as POST_ROUTING. In the first two cases we haven't performed IPsec yet so dst_mtu obviously does the right thing. As it is, POST_ROUTING is performed after xfrm_output so MSS clamping is useless there. With Patrick's IPsec netfilter stuff, there will be a POST_ROUTING processing before IPsec processing, in which case dst_mtu also returns exactly what we want.

Applied, thanks Herbert.
BTW Patrick, how is the IPsec netfilter stuff going?
That boy is seriously backlogged, so I'm not sure how much time he's gotten to work on that yet.
