The TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP socket option is defined in tcp(7) to "Bound the size of
the advertised window to this value." Window clamping is distributed across two
variables, window_clamp ("Maximal window to advertise" in tcp.h) and rcv_ssthresh
("Current window clamp").
This patch updates the function where the window clamp is set to also reduce the current
window clamp, rcv_sshthresh, if needed. With this, setting the TCP_WINDOW_CLAMP option
has the documented effect of limiting the window.
