	OK, now I added up(). It will be called when
32 messages are queued after last sent by thread.

	Done, used same value both for rcvbuf and sndbuf.

	Yes, both values are for same thing, the problem is
that queue size is in messages while socket buffer is in bytes.
And as sndbuf config is optional, I'm not trying to derive
sync_qlen_max from sndbuf. May be we can do it after
socket is created but it will cause problem for systems
that do not configure sync_sock_size, they before now used
unlimited queue and may be default socket size, so using
some small default sndbuf as sync_qlen_max can cause message
drops. They will use reduced limits. So, now we provide
some large sync_qlen_max as default configuration
which probably exceeds the default socket buffer.

	Still, I think the down/up idea is not better.
We are adding two new vars: master_stopped and
master_sem.

	The problem is that kthread_stop() is a blocking
function. It waits thread to terminate. It can not wakeup
thread blocked in down(), so we add master_stopped flag
that will unblock the down() loop while kthread_stop() will also
unblock thread if waiting for write_space. I.e. up()+kthread_stop()
is racy without additional flag while kthread_stop()+up()
is not possible to work.

	I'm appending untested version with up+down but I think
we should use wake_up_process and schedule_timeout instead,
as in previous version.
