Its changed to UDP_HTABLE_SIZE_MIN later in alloc_large_system_hash()

The reason there is a minimum UDP hash size is PORTS_PER_CHAIN,
or DECLARE_BITMAP(bitmap, PORTS_PER_CHAIN) on stack.

This patch has no effect on a small machine, because we already
dynamically size this hash table.

(The factor is one slot per 2MB of low memory)
