Subject: [SOCK] Avoid integer divides where not necessary in include/net/sock.h

Because sk_wmem_queued, sk_sndbuf are signed, a divide per two
forces compiler to use an integer divide. We can instead use
a right shift.

SK_STREAM_MEM_QUANTUM deserves to be declared as an unsigned
quantity, so that sk_stream_pages() and __sk_stream_mem_reclaim()
can use right shifts instead of integer divides.
