Subject: [PATCH net-next] tcp: fix the calculation of sysctl_max_tw_buckets in tcp_sk_init()

tcp_hashinfo.ehash_mask is always an odd number, which is set in function
alloc_large_system_hash(). See bellow,
	if (_hash_mask)
		*_hash_mask = (1 << log2qty) - 1; <<< always odd number

Hence the local variable 'cnt' is a even number, as a result of that it is
no difference to do the incrementation here.

Maybe the compiler could also optimize it, but this code is a little ugly.

Fix: fee83d09 ("ipv4: Namespaceify tcp_max_syn_backlog knob")
