Did you actually observe a difference in behavior with this change?

The man page summarizes it better than I could:

  IP_PMTUDISC_DO forces the don't-fragment flag to be set on all
  outgoing packets.[..] The kernel will reject (with EMSGSIZE)
  datagrams that are bigger than the known path MTU.

I would think your fragmentation test fails with that option set.

net-next is still closed btw.
