    udp: dynamically size hash tables at boot time

    UDP_HTABLE_SIZE was initialy defined to 128, which is a bit small for
    several setups.

    4000 active UDP sockets -> 32 sockets per chain in average. An
    incoming frame has to lookup all sockets to find best match, so long
    chains hurt latency.

    Instead of a fixed size hash table that cant be perfect for every
    needs, let UDP stack choose its table size at boot time like tcp/ip
    route, using alloc_large_system_hash() helper

    Add an optional boot parameter, uhash_entries=x so that an admin can
    force a size between 256 and 65536 if needed, like thash_entries and
    rhash_entries.

    dmesg logs two new lines :
    [    0.647039] UDP hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes)
    [    0.647099] UDP Lite hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes)

    Maximal size on 64bit arches would be 65536 slots, ie 1 MBytes for non
    debugging spinlocks.

cause the problem: nfs mount fail.

the setup is:
64bit kernel, have all needed drivers in kernel, and boot with
ip=dhcp, root disk is 256M ramdisk.
then try to mount nfs....
