I suspect following patch is needed

CC Roland Dreier <roland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> because he fixed the
default_mtu problem in commit ec831ea72ee5d7d47
(net: Add default_mtu() methods to blackhole dst_ops)

Thanks !

[PATCH] net: Add default_advmss() methods to blackhole dst_ops

Commit 0dbaee3b37e118a (net: Abstract default ADVMSS behind an
accessor.) introduced a possible crash in tcp_connect_init(), when
dst->default_advmss() is called from dst_metric_advmss()
