[PATCH 3/7] drbd: raise the socket buffer size limits to 128 MiB

["Christoph Böhmwalder" <christoph.boehmwalder@linbit.com>]

sndbuf-size and rcvbuf-size are capped at 10 MiB, with a comment that a
larger TCP buffer is not useful. That was written for the networks of
2008. On today's long-haul 25G+ links the bandwidth-delay product of a
single DRBD connection easily exceeds 10 MiB, and the cap then limits
replication throughput regardless of how the rest of the stack is tuned.

Raise both limits to 128 MiB, the value DRBD 9 has used for years. The
defaults are unchanged: 0 keeps the kernel's auto-tuning.
