tcp: cache result of earlier divides when mss-aligning things

The results is very unlikely change every so often so we
hardly need to divide again after doing that once for a
connection. Yet, if divide still becomes necessary we
detect that and do the right thing and again settle for
non-divide state. Takes the u16 space which was previously
taken by the plain xmit_size_goal.

This should take care part of the tso vs non-tso difference
we found earlier.
