Subject: [PATCH net,v2] net: sock: adapt SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF

The current situation is that SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF is 2048 + sizeof(struct sk_buff))
while SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF is 2048. Since in both cases, skb->truesize is used for
sk_{r,w}mem_alloc accounting, we should have both sizes adjusted via defining a
TCP_SKB_MIN_TRUESIZE.

Further, as Eric Dumazet points out, the minimal skb truesize in transmit path is
SKB_TRUESIZE(2048) after commit f07d960df33c5 ("tcp: avoid frag allocation for
small frames"), and tcp_sendmsg() tries to limit skb size to half the congestion
window, meaning we try to build two skbs at minimum. Thus, having SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF
as 2048 can hit a small regression for some applications setting to low
SO_SNDBUF / SO_RCVBUF. Note that we define a TCP_SKB_MIN_TRUESIZE, because
SKB_TRUESIZE(2048) adds SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)), but in
case of TCP skbs, the skb_shared_info is part of the 2048 bytes allocation for
skb->head.

The minor adaption in sk_stream_moderate_sndbuf() is to silence a warning by
using a typed max macro, as similarly done in SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF occurences, that
would appear otherwise.

 v1 -> v2:
  - Applied Eric's feedback, fixed up commit message
  - Set subject to 'net' instead of 'net-next' due to the reported regression
