Revert "net: limit tcp/udp rmem/wmem to SOCK_{RCV,SND}BUF_MIN"
Commit 8133534c760d4083 ("net: limit tcp/udp rmem/wmem to SOCK_{RCV,SND}BUF_MIN") modified four sysctls to enforce that the values written to them are not less than SOCK_MIN_{RCV,SND}BUF. That change causes 4096 to no longer be accepted as a valid value for 'min' in tcp_wmem and udp_wmem_min. 4096 has been the default for both of those sysctls for a long time, and unfortunately seems to be an extremely popular setting. This change breaks a large number of sysctl configurations at Facebook. That commit referred to b1cb59cf2efe7971 ("net: sysctl_net_core: check SNDBUF and RCVBUF for min length"), which choose to use the SOCK_MIN constants as the lower limits to avoid nasty bugs. But AFAICS, a limit of SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF isn't necessary to do that: the BUG_ON cited in the commit message seems to have happened because unix_stream_sendmsg() expects a minimum of a full page (ie SK_MEM_QUANTUM) and the math broke, not because it had less than SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF allocated. This particular issue doesn't seem to affect TCP however: using a setting of "1 1 1" for tcp_{r,w}mem works, although it's obviously suboptimal. SK_MEM_QUANTUM would be a nice minimum, but it's 64K on some archs, so there would still be breakage. Since a value of one doesn't seem to cause any problems, we can drop the minimum 8133534c added to fix this. This reverts commit 8133534c760d4083f79d2cde42c636ccc0b2792e.
