Eric Dumazet f86dcc5aa8 udp: dynamically size hash tables at boot time
UDP_HTABLE_SIZE was initialy defined to 128, which is a bit small for
several setups.

4000 active UDP sockets -> 32 sockets per chain in average. An
incoming frame has to lookup all sockets to find best match, so long
chains hurt latency.

Instead of a fixed size hash table that cant be perfect for every
needs, let UDP stack choose its table size at boot time like tcp/ip
route, using alloc_large_system_hash() helper

Add an optional boot parameter, uhash_entries=x so that an admin can
force a size between 256 and 65536 if needed, like thash_entries and
rhash_entries.

dmesg logs two new lines :
[    0.647039] UDP hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes)
[    0.647099] UDP Lite hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes)

Maximal size on 64bit arches would be 65536 slots, ie 1 MBytes for non
debugging spinlocks.
