[Patch] Limit sysctl_tcp_mem and sysctl_udp_mem initializers to prevent integer overflows.

[Robin Holt]

Subject: [Patch] Limit sysctl_tcp_mem and sysctl_udp_mem initializers to prevent integer overflows.

On a 16TB x86_64 machine, sysctl_tcp_mem[2], sysctl_udp_mem[2], and
sysctl_sctp_mem[2] can integer overflow.  Set limit such that they are
maximized without overflowing.
