tcp: Increase TCP_MAXSEG socket option minimum.

Browse Source 
commit 7a1abd08d5 upstream.

As noted by Steve Chen, since commit
f5fff5dc8a ("tcp: advertise MSS
requested by user") we can end up with a situation where
tcp_select_initial_window() does a divide by a zero (or
even negative) mss value.

The problem is that sometimes we effectively subtract
TCPOLEN_TSTAMP_ALIGNED and/or TCPOLEN_MD5SIG_ALIGNED from the mss.

Fix this by increasing the minimum from 8 to 64.
