From: Zhu Yanjun <zyjzyj2...@gmail.com>

As we all know, the vale of pf_retrans >= max_retrans_path can
disable pf state. The variables of pf_retrans and max_retrans_path
can be changed by the user space application.

Sometimes the user expects to disable pf state while the 2
variables are changed to enable pf state. So it is necessary to
introduce a new variable to disable pf state.
