Subject: [BUG report] net.core.rmem_default is larger than net.core.rmem_max


It's unconventional that "default" value  is greater than "max". :-(

net.core.rmem_max = 131071
net.core.rmem_default = 229376

net.core.wmem_max = 131071
net.core.wmem_default = 229376


And bisect the code to find the following commit caused this phenomenon.
This patch increase SK_WMEM_MAX and SK_RMEM_MAX which are used to 
initialize them.
But rmem_max and wmem_max value are still be covered according the RAM size
in sk_init().
