Summary

Kernel under stress load, mixed MC reboot and sfupdate really
generates TSO packet with RST flag.
It will generate many TCP packets with RST flag set.
May be RST flag should be set in the last segment only, but it could be
dropped. So, it is safer to keep the flag in all packets to be sure that
connection is reset.

Test Plan

Tested using link up/down, MC (on NIC) reboot, FW update etc
under heavy TCP/UDP traffic.
