Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] gro: simplify flush logic

From: Richard Gobert <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 24 Nov 2022 12:54:19 +0100

In tcp_gro_receive, the variable mss is sometimes assigned 1 to make the check
"flush = len < mss" fail, and indirectly set flush to 0.

This somewhat obfuscates the meaning of the code. Also, setting mss to 1 doesn't
influence the value of flush in the case when skb_is_gso(skb) is true.

This patch changes the code to set flush to 0 directly. The out_check_final can
then be moved, which avoids unnecessary conditions.
