The problem is caught by this WARN_ON(len > skb->len) in tcp_fragment():

[<ffffffff810510ca>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20
[<ffffffff8160ec90>] tcp_fragment+0x2a0/0x2b0
[<ffffffff81604e06>] tcp_mark_head_lost+0x196/0x230
[<ffffffff8160585d>] tcp_update_scoreboard+0x4d/0x80
[<ffffffff8160a9ac>] tcp_fastretrans_alert+0x6ac/0xa90
[<ffffffff8160b834>] tcp_ack+0x9d4/0x10e0
[<ffffffff8160c699>] tcp_rcv_established+0x309/0x7e0

The WARN_ON pointed out that tcp_skb_pcount (i.e.
TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs) and skb->len is inconsistent.

The WARN_ON stack goes away after setting net.ipv4.tcp_mtu_probing to 0.

This patch is to set the pcount after skb_pull() was called
in tcp_mtu_probe().
