Subject: [PATCH net-next] ipv4: 16 slots in initial fib_info hash table

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

A small host typically needs ~10 fib_info structures, so create initial
hash table with 16 slots instead of only one. This removes potential
false sharing and reallocs/rehashes (1->2->4->8->16)
