-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: John Heffner <johnwheffner@xxxxxxxxx>

[ upstream commit: 246eb2af060fc32650f07203c02bdc0456ad76c7 ]

This fixes inappropriately large cwnd growth on sender-limited flows
when GSO is enabled, limiting cwnd growth to 64k.

[ Backport to 2.6.25 by replacing sk->sk_gso_max_size with 65536 -DaveM ]
