Ok, this is indeed a good change, since we avoid initializing it twice.

Indeed, this ends up influencing the value of max_share used below to
initialize the other fields.
I like your change because now the limit variable is being set
independently between the global (now per-cgroup) and the per-socket
limits. (it previously was limit = sysctl_tcp_mem[1] << (PAGE_SHIFT-7))
So in the end, I personally think this is even clearer than what we had
before.
