I am definitely low on caffeine ;)

An issue in this function is that we might add the missing MSS option,
without checking that TCP options are already full.

But this should not cause a KASAN splat, only some malformed TCP packet

(tcph->doff would wrap)

Something like that maybe.

I will add also WARN_ON_ONCE(tcp_hdrlen >= 15 * 4) before, for curiosity, if this condition are triggered. Is it fine like that?
