net: move somaxconn init from sysctl code
The default value for somaxconn is set in sysctl_core_net_init(), but this function is not called when kernel is configured without CONFIG_SYSCTL. This results in the kernel not being able to accept TCP connections, because the backlog has zero size. Usually, the user ends up with: "TCP: request_sock_TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 7. Dropping request. Check SNMP counters." If SYN cookies are not enabled the connection is rejected. Before ef547f2a (tcp: remove max_qlen_log), the effects were less severe, because the backlog was always at least eight slots long. Signed-off-by:Roman Kapl <roman.kapl@sysgo.com> Signed-off-by:
