xfrm: fix MTU regression
Commit 749439bf ("ipv6: fix udpv6 sendmsg crash caused by too small MTU") breaks PMTU for xfrm. A Packet Too Big ICMPv6 message received in response to an ESP packet will prevent all further communication through the tunnel if the reported MTU minus the ESP overhead is smaller than 1280. E.g. in a case of a tunnel-mode ESP with sha256/aes the overhead is 92 bytes. Receiving a PTB with MTU of 1371 or less will result in all further packets in the tunnel dropped. A ping through the tunnel fails with "ping: sendmsg: Invalid argument". Apparently the MTU on the xfrm route is smaller than 1280 and fails the check inside ip6_setup_cork() added by 749439bf. We found this by debugging USGv6/ipv6ready failures. Failing tests are: "Phase-2 Interoperability Test Scenario IPsec" / 5.3.11 and 5.4.11 (Tunnel Mode: Fragmentation). Commit b515d263 ("xfrm: xfrm_state_mtu should return at least 1280 for ipv6") attempted to fix this but caused another regression in TCP MSS calculations and had to be reverted. The patch below fixes the situation by dropping the MTU check and instead checking for the underflows described in the 749439bf commit message.
