Log: Improve the TCP blackhole detection. The principle is to reduce the MSS in two steps and try each candidate two times. However, if two candidates are the same (which is the case in TCP/IPv6), this candidate was tested four times. This patch ensures that each candidate actually reduced the MSS and is only tested 2 times. This reduces the time window of missclassifying a temporary outage as an MTU issue.
