Subject: [PATCH net] netvsc: increase default receive buffer size

The default receive buffer size was reduced by recent change
to a value which was appropriate for 10G and Windows Server 2016.
But the value is too small for full performance with 40G on Azure.
Increase the default back to maximum supported by host.

Fixes: 8b5327975ae1 ("netvsc: allow controlling send/recv buffer size")
