      tcp: fix three tcp sysctls tuning · c5ed63d6
      Eric Dumazet authored
      As discovered by Anton Blanchard, current code to autotune 
      tcp_death_row.sysctl_max_tw_buckets, sysctl_tcp_max_orphans and
      sysctl_max_syn_backlog makes little sense.
      
      The bigger a page is, the less tcp_max_orphans is : 4096 on a 512GB
      machine in Anton's case.
      
      (tcp_hashinfo.bhash_size * sizeof(struct inet_bind_hashbucket))
      is much bigger if spinlock debugging is on. Its wrong to select bigger
      limits in this case (where kernel structures are also bigger)
      
      bhash_size max is 65536, and we get this value even for small machines. 
      
      A better ground is to use size of ehash table, this also makes code
      shorter and more obvious.
      
      Based on a patch from Anton, and another from David.
