This reverts commit 9f871e8832, which
was commit 1485348d24 upstream.
It can cause connections to stall when a PMTU event occurs. This was
fixed by commit 843925f33f ("tcp: Do not apply TSO segment limit to
non-TSO packets") upstream, but that depends on other changes to TSO.
The original issue this fixed was a performance regression for the sfc
driver in extreme cases of TSO (skb with > 100 segments). This is not
really very important and it seems best to revert it rather than try
to fix it up.
